Does the car need to have a valid tax & MOT & generally be complete and drivable etc?? or can you take it there on a trailor & push it in??!

May come under the "to nice to scrap" legislation though so may not let you

Why not put a cooper S engine in that

Cooper S isn't a British car is it with it being BMW? or is the Sun sprouting shite about it having to be a BRitish Manufacturer?

TBH you'd be best selling that for some cash and putting it against a year old Cooper S, as you'd lose more than £1500 as soon as you take it off the forecourt.

Old Mini's got rust & I cant be bothered fixing it, its been sorn'd for about 2yrs now. Its not worth anything private.....500 quid maybe to some mini anorak. Im trying to talk Jade into getting a cooper S

I'll need to see what the deal is, if you can get 2k for that against a nearly new car id be happy!!

Thats how it is in Germany, not sure if they have gone that route over here.
