Also what are your plans :) !


I've just started renovating my 1986 Picadilly, haven't actually driven it yet despite owning it for nigh on 4 years...
No mods as of yet, just want to get it on the road first. :)

hi well i'm driving a mayfair 1993, thats a complete bodge special.

think i'm in for some real sleepness nights.
You name it, its been bodged on mine! ( even include the mot, it never got looked at, back hand special i reckon ) though i have sorted most, . just electric issues as in things work when they feel like it, and i'm dreading the sills, glue and filler special, is all i'll say for now.
any body beat an inch push back on the brake pedal from warped discs? lol
. mind you, its a mini and i wouldn't have it any other way.
as for the engine, it runs, i'm happy with that lol

Hey All,

Newby from the Bristol area here. I have a 1989 Citye in Vauxhall Arden Blue called "Jocie". She has a Nodding Guard Dog in the back who goes by the name of 'Jared'. I will get a photo on here as soon as I get around to washing her. Engine is great, currently leaking fuel from a dodgy fuel pipe and the interior needs some work. & of course some rust work is needed here and there (don't they all). Was wondering what diameter the re-inforced rubber fuel pipe should be coming from the bottom of the fuel tank. Guess that's a Q I aught to ask in the techy area.

Cheers all, here's to a great season!

Wish I knew how to drive this web site. Starting to get the hang of it now.
Doing a full nut and bolt rebuild on a 1973 Australia Mini leyland (Clubman) When I work out how to do it I'll post some photos.

I have a 1996 mini sprite (1275).... not that old but defo needing some TLC, I've had it just under a year. Jobs I've managed to do on my own so far only really go as far as changing the discs, pads and callipers... but thats a good start right?!

Oh, it has a straight through exhaust... so you'll hear me coming!
