My local yard sells complete cars along with the usual parting out cars.

Buy all 3 and you might make one work!
the cheapest one looks like it has a supercharge and maybe no sunroof. Would be a great combo!
And where exactly is your local yard? Asking for a friend...

It was a Ramcharger so I didn't pay much attention to it. Good solid Texas truck though.

And it’s an LWB model, too.
The cheapest one is turbocharged and it's a Clubman. Engine issues likely. The other two are are 1st generation R50s, generally the least troublesome ones. If they are early production numbers they'll have the Midlands transmission (assuming they're manuals), and those are reputedly made of glass. An R50 with the later Getrag trans is about the most reliable MINI you can get. It's easy to find 200K mile examples up here in Michigan, but they'll all be rusting out around the tail lights, shouldn't be a problem down south.

Tin Grille Ramchargers are HIGHLY sought after. The 1st Gen Ramchargers are the only ones that have the removable roof. I'm still mad at myself I didn't snag my great uncle's '78 about 15 years ago now. I only know of one up here in MA these days; a buddy has a 1979 as a project.

I'm willing to bet that one (if not both) of the R50's are automatics, hence the lower price. The R56 is probably an auto, too.

+1 on the Getrag R50
The middle one looks 2005/2006 as it has the facelift headlights.
Bonus points too for rare color: Royal Grey
