Which do I buy?

Ok, I`m looking to bring a early mini back with me to drive for a while, and eventually sell. What would be the hot ticket?

1. Countryman
2. Just your average mini 1000 or similar
3. mini pickup
4. mini estate
5. mini panel van

I`d love to bring a 2000 cooper back, but have no idea how the people get away with it.

I think the regular coupe will remain the hot ticket.

1. Saloon, any year.
2. Countryman/Traveler/Estate for practicality
3. Pickup if you don't mind being squeezed for room.
4. Van if you feel like driving blind (- no rearward visibility esp from RHD) and being in a sweat box with sliders and no other windows (if you're in a hot climate).

Depends on what you want to do with it. Having owned a few saloons myself I'd look for the pickup, estate, van, elf, hornet, moke, etc...
