All the best people buy 2-door trafalgar blue Minors when they're 16...
Looks like a nice example. Good luck with lessons, &c.

i bought an 'eclipse blue' 2 door when i was 16, can i join the fun? does it still count if the first (and only) thing i did was take it apart and it's still in my garage 5 years later?
cowbelly, your minor appears to have an antiroll bar on the front. in my eyes, one of the best things you can bolt to a minor, in relation to money spent versus improvement gained! when i fitted mine it transformed the car!

hahaa, please, call me Dan
and oooh haha, i hate to sound stupid, but how can you tell?
i'm on a steep learning curve, one that i'm committed to of course:)
I'm servicing it myself next month, with some guidance, replacing plugs and points and oil, and getting a feel for it all a bit more:)
thanks everybody!

Took mine apart too - if it ain't broke, fix it 'till it is!
Mine's still in bits under cover a year later, but fingers crossed it won't be long now!
