Pre-80's rust free and driving.Don't wanna be negative but your neighbour may struggle with 1K.These little feckers are making a lot more than that.There's a big mini club down in my homeplace called barrow valley mini club,dunno if they have a website but they could Google the name.I reckon a solid project will be at best for that sort of money.

Best place to look is irishminis.ie. You'll struggle to find a pre 80s one that is roadworthy for a grand or under unless you get extremely lucky. I bought a 93 one last year for 800 euro that needs about 1200 euro spent on panels and body work.
Here's a few to give you an idea of how much pre 80s minis go for.
