Had a 998 Mini in 1969-70 in Winnipeg Canada. It had a Block, Carb and interior heaters fitted. Problem was I had to rent a parking spot with no plug in. You were not allowed to park on the street. Never had any problem starting even at minus 25 Farenheiht most winter days. Friends with Datsuns etc had all sorts of problems and had to be taken back to the dealers to warm them through. That only lasted a few days. My only problem was square tyres for the first few miles. I converted it to an Alexander twin Stromburg Carbs and Cooper S Exhaust for the second year and never had any problems. Moved to Ottowa and used to Drive to St Jovite 100 miles in 100 minuets on washboard roads to see the Canam and Transam races. Loads of fun
