Hi All, haven't posted for a while but sold my Sportspack Cooper Sport in May and picked this up on the weekend, I'm over the moon with it :)

Plans are to fit some seatbelts so I can take my daughter out in it (any recommendations?) and maybe some more supportive high back bucket seats if I can find something that won't spoil the look.

The drums up front have taken a little getting used to but I will probably upgrade these to some nice 4 pots and fit a servo asap so I can make full use of the MG metro engine under the bonnet :D

Thanks for all the nice comments, it's far from mint but nothing that can't be tidied up. I've been told the colour is snowberry white although I'm not sure how to find out for sure?

Will hopefully be coming to the Stanford hall show this weekend, can anyone get on the TMF stand?

think i might have to change my respray plan after seeing this one.... Snowberry white it is! :)

edited to add: to check the colour: if you look on the VIN plate there should be a colour code :D

Vin plate only has ther chassis number, no paint or trim codes like my newer Minis mat have to get a heritage certificate.
