New (Very Excited!!!) R50 Owner
Just picked up a used British Racing Green R50 for cheap with 128K on it.
so far so good, I love working on things and I bought this mini knowing it had lots of little bugs that need ironing out, but the motor runs good, the tranny shifts great. I feel like I got a great deal.
Even with the bad lower control arm bushings this is the best handling car I've ever driven, and i've owned an EJ8 Civic, a DSM, and drive an NA Miata quite a bit.
I'm so excited to learn from you folks and share info.
I'm in the Birmingham Al, Area and looking for other Mini owners to connect with.
Here is a Pic of my new to Me Mini,
Here it is when it was traded in 4 years ago at a local ford dealer, before the P/O to me got it.
Crazy Huh?

Congrats looks great.
Kinda like that stripe it's got.
We are just in Atlanta if need anything.
Also make sure you use the powerflex bushings for the control arms as you won't need to replace them again they are the best.
