Did you ever recreate the 362/364 photo Sean?

Is that you Sean in the pic with the Elf like beard?

Not yet - 364 has been found, but is under restoration - but hopefully soon. Would still like to get all 5 G plate RSPs together for a picture at some point.

Not me I'm afraid..was still at school at that time! :)

I think that's LJK Setright. Speaking of whom his book 'Mini: The Design Icon of a Generation' is one of my favourite dedicated Mini books.

[Wise Old Elf]

Maybe he is an Elf as well? Have you seen his ears?

[Wigeon Incognito]

He's certainly gifted in the ear department. A good Elf candidate I think!

Looks like someone has welded lots of patches over the rot and then given it a quick spray over.
Still does not look as bad as mine but you will not know how bad it is until you chop the patches off.

Good luck

The only panel that does not require work is the rear bulkhead.....

Good luck with G364....G362 needs some work also, just collecting the correct parts as I go before taking her off the road.

I see there is an RSP in September MiniWorld mag. Red one think owner was call Stefan? Page 74/75?

I was reading it in Sainsburys whilst waiting for for a key to be cut. 

[rougeleo]

Yep the current feature RSP in Mini World is Stefan's and he has other RSPs 

 

Need all the press cars and as many RSPs as possible ready for 10th July 2015 ....so plenty of time to finish those projects and attend the RSP 25th Anniversary meet / run etc .
