What mini do you drive and are there any mods done to it ?
Also what are your plans :) !
Hello, new member. I just purchased a "1975 mini" on ebay. was described as a 1300.
serial number is XE2D2 211420A which matches title, but I would like some help in identifying exactly what i have.
is metalic BRG, with tan "leather" seats, electric sunroof. dual SU carbs and I believe a 1275 engine
all works well except. the flashers and the turn signals. seller said it needs a DCR8626 flasher. did a google search for the flasher and this web-site came up. all help and direction would be much appreciated.

hello...there's lots of bloody nice mini's on here isn't there...feel a bit shy of mine...got no mods and not in a good state at the moment!!! but i love him still and thats the main thing!!! it's a 1987 mayfair in midnight blue...oh i have modified it actually...fitted a lovely little racing steering wheel :shifty: have owned a couple of mini's in the past... couple of years ago mini piccadilly with a 1275 cooper engine in BRG...was v nice but havin a kid and no money meant had to part with her!! and my first car was a 1979, not sure what type, but it was totally original, only about 30k on the clock, one old lady owner, garaged etc classic story, but was my first car and sadly i wasn't to hot at driving and pranged it!!!

i'm gonna be cheeky and ask for some advice straight away if i may...have got a problem with the gearbox...the problem being it's knackered...there's oil all over the road outside my next door neighbours house...not good!! i'm wondering if anyone can tell me roughly how much a reconditioned one should be and if anyone knows anyone 'daan saaf' sussex way who might have one??? i

if i should be posting this in a different forum or new topic for more people to see it would really appreciate someone lettin me know!!!

thanks for your time
