Hi Folks, im new to the world of 7 type car ownership. Having spent many fun hours as a teenager fiddling with late 70s Minis im now in my mid 40s and am excited to get back to getting my hands greasy.
Im after a bit of advice, im looking to buy a Robin Hood as these seem to fit my budget and i dont want to spend too much as its my first 7 type.
I went to see a 1993 2B running a 2l Pinto with single carb this morning that was reasonably local to me, the young lad selling it had acquired it from a family member and wasnt particularly knowledgeable, (like me!) the timing belt had a cover over it so i wasnt able to inspect the condition.
the main visible issues the car had was none of the gauges worked or the indicators, he said this was a recent thing and it has an MOT until march next year.
there was also a smallish oil leak from somewhere.
he was asking £3000.
other than fuses can anyone suggest any other reason why the whole dash would stop working?
It all appears to be registered correctly etc.
any thoughts or comments welcome, its all new to me.
Many thanks!
