Hi everyone, I hope this is OK to post in this section but I am trying to find my first car.
As you can see we made some changes along the way and made it look like a new (at the time) Sportspack Cooper. Along with a pair of Honda CRX front seats and a load of bits out of mini magazines. I sold the car in 2002 and regretted it almost straight away. I fear that the car is probably long gone as a tax search shows it ran out a year after I sold it. It does make me think it was crashed as we put so much work into it I doubt it would have been taken off the road due to MOT work.
I sold the car from Lymington in Hampshire to a lad probably about 17.
I know its a long shot but if it is still around somewhere in a garage, barn, hedge etc I would love to know and would love to buy it back regardless of condition.
Thanks for taking the time to read this

It was a 1987 Austin Mini Advantage E369HBD. My dad and I bought this car as a project and over two years we rebuilt it and I used it as my first car for about two years.
