classic mini
 

Good evening, new to the mini forum.
I am looking to buy a classic mini, 1968 cooper. Was wondering what to closely view (I am not new to the car industry, just new to the classic mini search). Very clean, and approx. 40k miles so to say. Wanting to know how to go about getting a value on the car, and would be interested in having someone inspect it if there is anyone in middle Tennessee. Spring Hill is where the car is. Thanks for any info!
