I've got 3 at the moment.

1978 Clubman Estate 'Bert':
Metro MG 1275 lump, Maniflow exhaust & LCB.
7x13 Ultralite extremes and 195/45 Continental Sport Contact tyres
Adjustable suspension and GAZ dampers
Chrome bits etc.



1989 City E, 'Ernie':
No engine. Well, it did until it blew the diff last week!
No mods at present



1982 HLE, 'Rosita':
5x10 Minilites, Chrome accessories.



My old man's custom mini, as featured in Minimag, Jan 2005:
Too much to list!



My Mothers 998 runabout:
Full rebuild & respray in July 2004.
Stage1 Kit
Half leather Equinox seats
Loads of walnut and all black interior.
Chrome everything outside!



And finally... Ria's Coopersport!




This is likely to change on a regular basis.... Sold 4 and bought 3 last year, so probably the same to come!!

Matt.

Hey Mickeymini..... is that there 'Miss Anglia' ?? I woulda called her 'Babs' if I'd won her.
Try www.openclassicregister.co.uk (or maybe . com ?)

This is my 1993 Cooper 1.3i called Mumbo, alongside hubby's 1999 German Sportspack 1.3mpi., (open-classic-a-like.)

[Mickymini]

Hi Crazy-Laney

Well spotted, it is indeed "Miss Anglia"

Why would you call her "Babs"?

by the way the open classic site you suggested I could not find. Is there a decent one out there?

Hi, new member of the forum and owner of a 'Primrose Yellow' 1990 Mini City 998 Auto that has recently been bought. Only showing 14k miles and in very good condition, but one or two rust spots starting to show.

Kids have called 'her' 'Primmie the Mini'. All the pics I have are rather large so don't want to take up lots of space with them.

Joined the North East Mini Club.

Hope to get help and advice from the forum as well as an insight in to other mini owners' cars.

Second:
Blue, 1000HLE 1983
Waiting to be rebuild with non-Mini motor (probably)

Special features: None

Thirth:

He was really ugly when i bought him, did a repaint and beheld his name

Special features: Only one (of mine) on the road!!
