Lovely spirited drive down to Cambridge and back. Top down and screens off the car performed beautifully. I went to Cambridge to look at a classic Mini Cooper Sport for sale at Cambridge Mini Works in Great Shelford. I think I've fallen in love with the car! Only 6 k miles from new in 2000 and looks immaculate. Lovely little garage with a good stock of proper minis. All I have to do is persuade Karen now. I suspect bribery is called for..

I've no intention of leaving the Morgan fold but as Karen is retiring at Christmas we need to think about the cars we have. Anyway I will need a car perhaps more convenient as an everyday car than the Morgan, but I want something with character. Reginald's place in the garage is guaranteed, he might just have a new sleeping partner.

Any advice any of you guys can offer on buying original Minis, the dealer I've visited today or other delears that you know would be very gratefully received.
