Hi all,
I'm new to this forum and new to MINIs. I don't have one yet, but doing research on the Mk1 cars and on the lookout for a 2005/2006.

Welcome. Make sure you get it inspected before you buy so you don't end up with an expensive repair right after purchase.

 

Welcome to the forum. Take your time in the search. Buy the best one you can afford. The MINIs from the first generation are great cars. More raw and go-cart like then later generations. They also say they are more reliable. I have had mine 4 years and have had no problems after the initial work to address things deferred by the prior owner.
