Firstly, thanks to you all for your replies. There is a lot of 'food for thought' here and I appreciate your honesty. In fact I've had some advice also form outside IIS which has, well, not put me off Minis altogether but made me look a little further afield.
I guess the issues that Minis had in their hey day are more or less resolved by enthusiasts who are rebuilding them and providing solutions to oil leaks etc.
The safety issue I've known about for years and it is in the back of my mind.
Okay, a couple of you have mentioned a Cortina, which is ironic because late last year when the idea of a replacement car surfaced I was thinking about a Mk II (2nd Gen) Escort? late 1970's.
