Hello,
After many years growing up admiring my friend dad's collection, I decided that it was my time to own one of these beauties. And I got myself 2. One fully restored 1966 r50/2 and a 1971 r60/5 that will need some love but it is running after a quick visit to the mechanic.
In this thread I will address only questions for the r50. The first one is about the best gasoline to put in it. By personal car experience, my mini cooper only takes premium. Les than that and it's evident the engine doesn't like it.
Thanks,
Ivan.
