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!!

I think I read somewhere the car you buy can be up to 12 months old to qualify

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