Hi, I have just bought a 1992 Mini City E (only because of cost and I cant afford a pre 73 model)
It's red and white at the moment but i would soon like to change it to Old English White and Gloss Black much like 'Minime94's 85 Mini Mayfair (beautiful by the way)

Starting with the Stage 1 Kit
Body work and interior to be done as and when finances permit.

I've 2 minis, one is a Austin Mini Seven which I'm rebuilding to be a track car with the BMW K1200 head conversation. At the moment the shell is awaiting to go in for bodyworks and paint job, the other mini is a Mk2 which has a 1380cc engine with 296cam with s' valve and head ported and weber 45idf which i use daily.. Just the other basic mods to this one like 4pots metro disc at the front and welded in 6point cage. Nothing Fancy though..

Hi,
My Mini is a little bit special (ok, it's only my opinion).
It's a 1969 Mk 2 in Almond Green with 33,508 miles to it's name and approx 95% of those are dry miles. Everything about it is original with the exception of the brake fluid res, the clutch fluid res and the radiator. On Wednesday the exhaust will be added to the list. It appears in the July 2003 edition of Mini mag if you should wish to search for it under the title of Time Machine on P26.

What takes the biscuit with this Mini is the ridiculously detailed history. The article explains but in short the Mini was bought with an accompanying carrier bag of amazing history. The star of the show is the record of it's life which begins when the gentleman in South London bought it (23 July 1970) and continues up to the present day. Yes, every drop of fuel, every drop of oil, every light bulb, every everything. Sounds bizarre, I know, but it's all there.

What a lovely little find it is.

Dave.

Hi there, Nathan, BUDE cornwall, one of the younger generation of Mini enthusiasts, just turned 17 - Bought a 1994 1275 rover Mini Sprite
Always wanted one, and it came up at the right price with 12 months MOT, a few months time I'll be on the road, and I hope to have him up to scratch by then, as he is a bit shabby round the edges :)
I'll be sure to keep everyone posted on how it's going.  430093_10150734004322673_632497672_11117459_472425362_n.jpg   67.97K   19 downloads
