Keep it locked up nice and snug in the garage, or actually use it?

Normally I'd be a great advocate for keeping it nice and safe in the garage, but I think I'd actually be nudging myself to actually use it as a weekend car for myself (and undoubtedly others seeing it) to enjoy.

Just interested to see what everyone would do?

I'd build a display in my lounge and put it on show. Yes my lounge would be big enough as I can afford to buy a £40,000.00 Morris Mini.

...Did NOT think of that haha. Think I'd do something like that now it's been mentioned actually and maybe only drive it once or twice a year. Sorted :y:

It's mad mate. Absolute museum piece if I'm honest. There's a Mini Van on there that's done slightly more mileage (albeit still not even run in yet - approx. 350 miles) and that's up for 42k! :panic:

Gorgeous, but belongs in a showroom now. Then for that price I'd buy the latest mini and call Schnitzer to sup it up as such:

Can't see the attraction personally mate but each to their own :y:

Good to hear that Mk1 is in a museum now though - I guess it's where it belongs really.
