5 Essential Tips to Prepare Your Classic Mini for Summer!

It’s that time of year again… lighter evenings and warmer days, which are the PERFECT excuse to get your classic Mini out on the roads again!

However, preparation is key - especially if your Mini has been sat in storage all over winter - so here are our FIVE ESSENTIALS to get your Mini summer-ready!

1️⃣ Tyres: pressure may be for tyres, but that doesn’t mean they don’t deserve love and attention! Check the tyre pressure and conditions to make sure they’re road-legal.

2️⃣ Fluids: Just like us in the heat, your classic needs to be well hydrated too! Make sure to top up the oil, brake fluid, washer fluid and antifreeze before driving.

3️⃣ Tax and Insurance: The condition of the Mini is important, but useless if you haven’t got the correct documentation! Ensure you’ve paid your road tax and set up the appropriate insurance so your car is safe on the roads.

4️⃣ Take It For a Short Drive: If your intention is to cruise in your classic on a warm summer’s evening, take it on a shorter journey first. Get it up to temperature and make sure everything’s in working order before doing longer trips.

5️⃣ And last, but definitely by no means least, book it in at The Real Mini Company! We offer servicing, MOTs and ramp inspections that will ensure your Mini is summer-ready, so get in touch today!
