I had a mini in the late '90's. It was my first car. Even the brown colour couldn't cover up all the rust. And when you braked you couldn't 'brace yourself' one way or the other, because you could never tell which side it was going to pull you. It never knew what braking in a straight line was! At least it worked I suppose. Got rid of it for a Polo which had almost as much rust, it was just very craftily covered up by the spray-shop of the place I bought it - for about 5 minutes. Then it all blew through the paint. Ah the joys of rutsbuckets.

You look very similar to Ben from @SortedFood

I had forgotten MOST of what he said by now! However, I do remember 2 "sport' -related titles they had for special editions, in the glorious 80's. One was WHITE, with a green graphic of a tennis net along the side - called the Mini Advantage. Then in the 90's came a cool British Racing Green one, where the group of companies pioneered having a type of modernised British Racing Green - by making it slightly METALLUC. SO slightly metallic, that you didn't actually NOTICE it was metallic, till you got close up! A "twin" look -"solid" paintwork from a distance, then metallic, from close up! Genius! This version had a full length sunroof, and was called the BRITISH OPEN OPEN CLASSIC.
