1990 City E, no mods yet just fixing the rust and trying to get on MOT ready for Norfolk Mini Day.
My plans are to fit a 1340 engine, belt drive, 1 3/4 carb Stage I kit. as an engine builder I have a lot of parts laying around I can use. Full gearbox overhaul while its out. Uprate the suspension and brakes. Finally new wings, front end and a repaint.

Hey dudes. This is Herman - my 1979 Austin Morris 998cc. He is in good order and pretty much standard at the mo aside from disc conversion on front and a set of nasty revos...which will be coming off this week Paint job needs some attention and have already taken the stripes off the bonnet. Lots planned for this little dude so keep an eye out!

Hi, I'm hoping to be soon driving my 998 mini mayfair (sylvester ), I purchased it from Ebay, for £500 with around a months MOT, drove it home from Cambridge to Peterborough, and smiled every mile of the way. My grinning was somewhat short lived , when i had it mot, and found out it was more or less rust and paint, with a Mini badge on it, but after around 4 years, lots of lessons learned and more welding wire then a pro welding shop used in asmany years, were getting close top bieng back on the road , yippeeeeee!!!, I'm new here, so hoping to make some friends, and pick some brains thanx all
