My mini is a 1995 Rover Mini Sidewalk, which I've owned since 2006. The previous owner had modified it heavily before I bought it. It started life in its original Kingfisher blue paint. I enjoyed it for 2 years before the dreaded tin worm set in!

The original plan was to do a quick overhaul and have it back on the road... Unfortunately things didn't turn out that way and I changed my mind on how I wanted it to look.
I decided to fully strip it, respray kawasaki green and black and rebuild it. 6 years later! (me being a lazy b@£7@#d).

I again enjoyed it for another 2 year, until I garaged it up. Until now! She's nearly ready to be back out!!!
A constant ongoing project, but it always puts a smile on my face

Hi,

New here,

I have 2 1981 Mokes.

This one Ive owned since the early 90's, and was almost written off in a bingle last year.

Back on the road now though and 5000 k's traveled already.

Yes, but that's because you're a greedy sod :D

 

 

Nice to see you here mate.

 

I'm sure between your Mokes, your family and yourself there must be some history there,,,,,

 

Just sayin' / askin'
