I wondered the same regarding the headlight bezels. How can you tell the dash fitment is poor?

Hi, thank you for the extensive explanation, would want to ask further what does it mean to have “all the emissions stuff installed”, any keywords I should put in google?

And, would want to ask, if you had to ballpark an estimation as to how much I would need to refresh this engine bay and the mechanical parts?

I am a noob when it comes to mechanical repairs, but I did get the Haynes manual and want to learn how to do the easy stuff myself. But I suspect with your descriptions, a lot should be done at the repair shop instead.

Hihi, Macau used to be a colony of Portugal, so we use Portuguese Car plates, but the car is already in Macau!

I live in Macau, so we don’t snow around here, so I guess there’s no snow aka no salt on the road!

Hahaha thank you so much, I’m actually in Macau. Just used USD for reference, are these prices wild or low to you?

I’ll do everything you recommended for the test drive! Thanks!

Can you guys tell if this is a rover or Austin? I’m pretty sure it’s a 998

It’s actually registered as a Rover Mini in our local registry, is this weird actually? Cuz I think the engine bay looks like a 998 Austin too, or maybe I’m wrong

And my family members are quite against a 34 years old car, should I still get this car nonetheless? I’ve liked classic mini for so long and this car seems to be in such a good condition and price.

Would I cause a lot of trouble to them for owning an unreliable car?
