From my personal side I would just like to add that Mini vans & pickups were the backbone of small business in this country in there day and deserve far better recognition. They are without doubt crowd pleasers in there own right. There are still barn finds out there that could and indeed are subject to total restoration and saving them from the crusher if you are indeed brave enough! (because generally they were worked to death after the original owners retitred them from honerable service to farmers etc)
Likewise the Countryman estates were enjoyed by families all over this island and must bring back so many fond memories of holidays and special trips out. Again rather rare and always turns heads, these are also still to be found as basket cases and a dedicated LWB section would inspire others to also follow us into restoring these beauties despite the spiraling costs that in most cases takes your breath away!
Just to end by saying thank you TMF for considering this new LWB section. I for one know it will be well supported, will bring fellow LWB owners togther to share in inspirational rebuilds, attract more new members to TMF & TMF+ providing them with technical knowledge and abilities and perhaps perhaps perhaps some jaw dropping convoys which might even help to raise some nice money for local charities, publicity etc etc
So please Dear TMF Sirs and Madams can you impliment our requests now?
Regards
Garry

here here!
+1 one that, I am 100% happy with the idea of a LWB, as I have mk1, which the mini forum is already amazing for and can make it even better, as I have a Clubby Estate as well. Just my 2p worth

I have an Spi and enjoy the saloon threads and injection section, but not really that interested in total rebuilds of saloons ( been there done that). I have a PUP and the rebuilds for LWB models tend to be more involved due to the beating they got as commercial vehicles.
So I would be very pleased if there was a LWB section...pretty please!

the motorsport section has just been added. it had a big hit to start of with but has now started to die off. in this thread there are a hand full what want it but i just dont feel it will work long term, even tho i must say the idea sounds ok (only because i have a van) it still wouldnt work.

Not everyone is interested in taking there mini on track or being involved in motorsport. However, the reason I join TMF in the first place was to see picture and other peoples builds.
I wasn't aware we even had a motorsport section... solely for that fact that I wouldn't even look for one, where as projects is the reason I'm here.

In my opinion you would see a far greater amount of traffic on a LWB section than you would motorsport though do you not think.

I've been here for around year and 9 months now and have had my thread running and updated ever since. I've been slowly restoring the van for the last 10 years off and on, and the build is this on going and being updates every time I do something new.

10 years later currently look like.
