    New to the New Minis. We found a Chili Red series 1 R50 with about 130K a reasonable history and a clean carfax and she followed us home. We had a 69 Mini for a while and a bunch of other rather unusual cars my wife (2nd) keeps track and reminds me we are hard approaching 100. I do all my own work and are busily making our new Mini ours. Coincidently her stable mate is a 1965 corvair in regal red with a black interior and white top same color combo. They look like twins (sort of)

    Welcome. R50 in Chili Red, got one myself. Pics please, we like pics.

    Do a service as soon as you can. Oil change, plugs and wires (OEM, not aftermarket), air filter, serpentine belt, cabin filter, check control arm bushings. I am sure someone will be along shortly to fill in what I have missed. :Thumbsup:
