I drive a standard Rover Mini Mayfair, 998cc, straight through exhaust.

The only things I have changed are:

  • steering wheel
  • alloys (taken from a kit car)
  • front leather jaguar seats

I drive a standard Mini 30 in black, you lot will think I am very boring but I would like to keep it totally original. I had it resprayed in 2004 and replaced the bonnet, front panel, A panels, doors, sills, bootlid and rear valance. I made sure I used all original Rover parts and it's been kept in my garage ever since. I have just started on my engine and again it is going to be kept original. My club is www.eastcoastminis.co.uk so check it out.

G'day greetings from downunder. I have owned a total of 11 minis, I've recently bought another after a 9 year break from them. It's in my blood. I simply had to buy another. I use this one as a promotional vehicle for my business. For more details see the mini page . . .

God bless minis and all who sail in them.
