Wot 9-11 year old mark is a minter, so long as its has been looked after I'd expect some problems down the line
The joys of classic motoring eh

Hehe, that's the first time I've ever heard of a '97 car being referred to as classic
Do people call old shape mini classic ??? Well they do, and they only stop production in 2000/2001.
its a classic when there rare. minis are getting rare.... ones that aint 80% rust anyway.
Aye true, but they commenced production in the 60's. Cinq's only started in - what - '95? I've only ever thought of "classic" as referring to a car that commenced production at least 20 years ago - not that I don't consider the Cinq a classic car, I was only commenting that I'd never heard it said before
the 500 started production in like the 60s too ............. cinquecento = 500 ........

I knew you were going to say that smart arse It's not the same design though, unlike the Mini
It's not the same design though, unlike the Mini i was expecting that answer too ..in the 60s mini were made by Austin, and later on by rover so
anyway, i wouldn't call cinq a classic either, but can't argue the fact that it is a classic in the making :0.

Thats so we can determin WHICH mini we are talking about
BMW Binis or Minis
I class a classic if they no long make that car anymore so Cinq in my eyes is a classic, in the best possible way. Its kinder to call them classic's rather than 'lemons'
cars have feelings toono, the Sei has a cock and the Cinq has flaps.
(its do with the heater control system, the Sei uses its cock to control waterflow to the heatermatrix where as the Cinq has full waterflow to it all the time and uses flaps to control airflow into the cabin via the matrix)
I made my mind up and I am going for a .................
CINQ
:slayer::slayer:
you know it makes sense.
Cinqs are getting quite rare, i've hardly seen any others in a while

Over the last four months i have refurbished four cylinderheads from cinq and sei models which once finished i sell on ebay only one required a skim due to head warp after an overheat this particular heads thermostat was stuck closed as was one of the others, if in doubt change the thermostat.
