Driving up to Chelmsford today to look at "replacement". Won't be the same as having my car back but hopefully not Mini-less for too long.

Hi

I have just setup a minispares business (www.vintageminispares.co.uk) with the wife and want to offer you any parts you need (if you decide to reshell) at cost price or free if I can.

You need to get her reshelled and back on the road!

Sincerely hope I can help

Paul

Bought another mk1. A bit messed about with and rather suspiciously shiny but I can see the potential to make a good car out of this and the salvage of mine. Oh, better report my loss to the insurance company asap!

Wow, thanks. I am continually amazed at the generosity in spirit and also in practical terms of "Mini people". I'll be in touch.

Well you bought another one quick enough at least :)

Obviously won't be the same, but hopefully you'll be able to salvage a decent amount of bits of the torched one

If the people responsible are caught I'd love if it you could sit them down and just ask them 'why..?'

Mindless ignorant degenerate yobbos, at least you can be confident in the fact they won't be getting anywhere in life.

Good luck with the new car, heartless thugs had no reason to do that. A nicer and better car this time, with all our support mate (not saying your old one wasnt nice, it was gorg! just positivity!)
