Presumably it’s spent the last 6 years stored at the bottom of the ocean Late Minis can quite easily get into that state in 6 years whilst stored in a hermetically sealed cocoon.

Yeah, it’s something I unfortunately know first hand. The rustproofing (or rather lack thereof) on late 90s Minis was a disgrace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shite Ron Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 What is cooler than tooling around in a shonky Shadow? A yellow one with blue interior! This Shadow is sub zero https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rolls-Royce/164280081951?hash=item263fdb1e1f:g:T7IAAOSwFB9fBGuP The pictures are not great so you may need to use your imagination as to how good* it might be. New number plates first job, then wheels, then maybe look at addressing rust issues. I have never been a huge fan of Rolls Royce but this colour really does suit it ?

The rustproofing (or rather lack thereof) on late 90s Minis was a disgrace rovers habit of building up mini bodies, the "storing" them unpainted in the car park before inserting them into the production and that robotised paint line too didn't help a car that was always a rotter.... add to the mix the new water based paint,and viola, rust heaven! the SPi and MPi cars were, without doubt the most variable with respect to paint work. some are better than others. and that one is one of the bad ones. i've seen better mark 1' cars that have spent decades sat outside compared to that thing!
