I am looking for an old mini to have restored.
Does anyone know where I can pick one up.

I had a quick look online. There is a Thai-language Mini forum which lists some Minis for sale. Even if you can't read Thai, the prices and details are all pretty obvious.
My burds got a couple she's grown out of.
A small black one and a red n.
I'll post em to ya for a beer...!

An older style mini ? Are you nuts ? Why bother ???? Minis are utterly outdated technology. And where would you get spare parts ? Far, far more trouble than they are worth.
Old Mini's are somewhat problematic because of running the engine and transmission oil together in the same case. I know of a really nice one in Ranong, they never drive it, it's just nice to look at.
I'd rather have a massaged old VW Beetle, at least that car is better suited for a warm climate.
^ what makes the beetle more suited to a warmer climate?

What makes an old Mini problematic? Had one for years, rain never effected it, shared oil never effected it. Great fun. In this climate maybe an oil cooler would be good. Mine had one as standard.
Agreed AC might be a touchy subject I don't even know where one would put it.
Mini Moke would be a perfect island car!
Not sure I'd be brave enough to restore one!
Better to think inside the pub, than outside the box?
I apologize if any offence was caused. unless it was intended.
You people, you think I know feck nothing; I tell you: I know feck all
Those who cannot change their mind, cannot change anything.
Quite like those old Minis but (as per the usual case here) they're very expensive - I've seen near mint/pristine ones for around the 900 - 1m Baht mark.Originally Posted by VocalNeal
