Motoring journalist and TV presenter Jonny Smith buys a 1989 Mini 30 edition from its original owner as a 15,000 original mile garaged survivor. Sadly it's a non-runner. In this video he gets the car running for the first time in 5 years.

Be sure to watch part two - the Mini MoT journey. Part 3 will be the full drive review.

Subscribe to Carpervert and you can expect a broadchurch of Jonny's car projects, exploring other folk's interesting/mad machines, barn/field finds, drive-buy roulette roadtrips and tests of new cars... with a twist. Most of all thanks for watching.

Music: Roundabout by Karl Phillips and the Midnight Ramblers, on Medical Records
