Just an observation but surely this mini being 1994 should be fuel injected and fitted with a catalytic converter to pass 1992 onwards MOT emission limits.

Take that up with the relevant body if it concerns you.

It's brilliant - worse with every photo 😂

Pinstripe skull, matte paint, flames, wonky pinstripe, stickers, 8 balls, fake finger keyring, ebay's finest dashboard shite, peeve bottle catch can, vampires AND flames on the strut brace thingies, more skulls on the parcel shelf, nonce flag on the back seat, plastic fucking diamond plate door cards, wonky sidepipes... 100% previously owned by someone with one of these t shirts:

I really, really want it so I can put all the shite on a bonfire, clean it up, give it a single-colour paint job then bimble around in it at 37mph listening to Skinny Puppy.

Well, "if beauty is in the eye of the beholder" .. should have gone to Specsavers ...

Just to clarify - I’d love to know more about the mechanical side of things not the superficial shit

Agreed.

It's possible that the car would fall into the surprisingly long grace period that BL Rover enjoyed for some of their cars from the '92 emissions legislation anyway.

There's a massive list of Range Rover Classics which are exempt, and Minis might also be too - BL had a huge amount of unsold stock sitting around at the time with old engines like the A series and RV8, and there was a lot of flexibility.

My MoT tester wouldn't be too bothered about emissions on a car of this age.
