Hi everyone
I drive a 1998 BLACK Cooper Sport LE, although there was to be only 100 of these models produced it is rumoured that only 10 were released to the UK in Black.
My car has had a Cooper S5 conversion together with oil cooler and adjustable fuel regulator. I also has a large bore aluminium throttle body and uprated cam.

The interior is dark green leather (standard for this model) and lots of burr walnut furniture including steering wheel.

Hi I don't drive my 1989 30th Anniversary mini because it is in Scotland and I am in sunny Huddersfield.
The big plan is to get it MOTed then down south for a really good restration and some engine mods! :thumbsup:

i drive a mini city from 1993. the previous owner has aimed to make it into a cooper replica with white stripes replica minilite alloys and a union jack on the roof, along with an interior out of another mini which personally looks camp in my opinion.

i thought this was the only mods until recent purchases for the stock 1000cc city engine didnt seem to fit, until we investigated and belive i might have a 1275cc which has been reconditioned, however there is no apparent way of telling with only a 1000cc on the logbook and the engine plate has been removed! SNEAKY ;D

so far i have brought a set of clear rear lenses, a new top hose, water pump and an alloy 500 style gear knob!

i plan to replace the standard three clock dash with a fully brushed alloy dash or one with a union jack vinyl accross the front, along with a rear roll cage and removal of the rear seats and carpeted out back of the car. Classic buckets in the front with harnesses. a twin carb with two pipercross air filters if not a ram air system. along with a new stainless steel exhaust maybe a twin center exit or possibly a bit of different styling with a motorbike exhaust. a new grill, some wider arches maybe wood and picket style and eventually some angel eye headlamps...

just a short list :P hehe

Wood is a little tatty, but it's all surface - next job to be done. It's a '64 with practically everything original. The proverbial Barn find.
