Hello, I've never owned a Mini, but have owned a Mini 2 Cooper convertible (2004) and now own a Clubman. What I'm interested in is tracking down pictures my dad owned when I was growing up. He had 2 black minis with sunroofs and tinted windows in the early 1970s, a silver mini with tinted windows and a Tahiti Green mini cooper with light brown interior and roof (the latter two around 1977). If anybody has pictures of these I would be interested in getting copies.

Cheers

Hi, I'm Nikki and my daily drive is Priscilla, a 1996 Rover Mini Cooper in pink. She has 13' alley cats, RC40 millenium exhaust, hand stiched interior, angle eyes, cibie oscars and other bits and bobs. I'm after a new engine, 1380 as my gearbox is on its way out and shes a tad slow >_<

hi
i have a 1996 mini sprite - new front end after being reversed into on 3 separate occasions
it came with a nice stereo and walnut dash which i don't think was standard but could be wrong
this is my 4th mini
i first owned a mayfair
then a BRG 96 cooper and a city at the same time
this one has a few dents and needs quite a lot of work, which i could do with advice about, although i will put that in the plans section
never been a doer before, just always loved driving them, but kinda love this one and want to help it reach its full potential
