I ran several very secondhand Minis into the ground, and it was rust
which killed them, not mechanics.

*nods* Great fun to drive and reliable if you changed the oil regularly,
but total rotboxes.

I used to drive mine pedal to metal the length of the country. It was the
first vehicle I'd owned that didn't complain with that sort of treatment.
I reckon the 850 was the strongest version of the A series made - with the
exception of the short stroke Cooper S unit.

I think so. The next best one IMHO was the 1275.
