Hello,

I was wondering if any of you guys own a mini jet black? (I have one)

I want to restore my mini to its prime (slowly step by step, all down to cash, lol).
Let me know, cheers!

Very cool, thats great!

I see you are from north devon, my mini manage to run from london to devon recently, very smoothly (except the way back an annoying knock sound from the engine/ gear box suspect to be the mounting).

If you have any idea how an original jet black look like drop me a line.

Cheers!!!!!!!!!!

I have a jet black :)


Sadly, during the resto, I didn't decide to go down the same route so it looks different now, but I've still got the seats in it and kept all of the parts in case one days it turns back into a jet black :)

Here is my son's Jet Black which is standard and in good condition, but not really concours although he likes to have a go! Everything on his Mini is standard and correct down to the rubbish radio!










And he has collected brochure's etc for it. He even managed to track down the free tape that was given away if you test drove a Jet Black or Red Hot and the Sony Walkman you were given if you bought one.

We restored a Jet Black for my friend's niece. She passed her test, drove it into the back of another car and decided she didn't like it anymore and sold it for £800! I haven't spoken to her since...
