OP does though, dunno if the rain is more likely drizzle or biblical!
The convertible mini does of course look like a bathtub so the latter would be fine too
just needs to pack his shower cap and loofah

It never rains in the NW. What you on about.
To be fair though a radio cassette is like something out of sci-fi for Oswaldtwistle. 😄https://www.britanniacarsales.co.uk...ble-1-6-one-2dr-oswaldtwistle-202104010850904
'Only, Radio WAVE (Radio/Cassette',it says in the write up.Heck,that's a bad selling point! I haven't had a car with a chew the tapes up,cassette player for about 20 years.

I went to have a look at both Minis this aft'. The yellow one's been sold. I took a few pics of the red one.
The middle pic' shows the rubber seal around the bit where the roof fits is corroded. The steering wheel was also a bit tatty,compared to the one on mine. I didn't have a drive in it,though he did offer to move other cars so i could have a drive in it. I had a play with the automatic roof. Heck,you hold a button in while firt hslf the roof goes back,then the rear quarter windows go down,followed by the driver and passenger windows. My thoughts were 'how much to fix it if it conks out'!!🤔

I would have thought most on here are well used to the concept of moving about outdoors in British weather without the protection of a roof, so would not often feel that putting the roof on a soft top down is an act of madness.

I'm going to phone one tomorrow and pretend 'My Mini's soft top roof won't work'. I bet they quote about 500 quid.

Quite possibly, good to be aware of the potential issuesI've looked some soft top repairers up.
