Just starting this thread to keep a log of all the work I carry out on the car.

Noddy is a 1979 Austin Morris Clubman Estate. He is painted pageant blue and has his standard biscuit velour interior.


Here he is in standard form (minus the reverse rims)

That's gorgeous :mrcool: I used to have a GT in the same colour and really miss it. Should never have sold it!! Oh, and I love 10 inch wheels on a Mini - 'tis what they were designed for :genius:

they look like reverse rims. prob 10x5.5 or 10x6 banded steel or the new replica alloy version that minispares sell

I am on the register yes!


The wheels are your run of the mill reverse rims, idk if it's the colour but they do look fairly dished!
