Hi all.

 

Nick from Bishop Stortford Hertfordshire UK. Found forum on google.

 

Own a 1989 mini which I garaged at my old mans house for 6 long years after I rebuilt it with a 1460cc A series, then had to park it up (life changes).

 

Time to rekindle the 19 year old obsession after moving to a house with a garage! Let the fun commence!

Hi,

 

How do i go about placing an ad to sell my mini on the site? as it says i am not allowed to post an ad in the selling section

[Mullac]

I found this place whilst looking for replacement parts for my mini but never payed much attention until I did the London to Brighton with my dad. After that I decided this was a good place to get into the community and found it again after a quick Google search.

the site was recommended to me by a fella on facebook... my names dan buy the way from you guessed it gorseinon, swansea in wales. ive yet to buy a mini but on the lookout for my first project, ive had some great advice so far and the mini owners even the newfangled german distractions are very pleasant but ive had some great offers of minis but they all seem a bit complete i just want a nice cheap mini i can tinker on in my spare time

Hi, the site was recommended to me when I enquired about a mini for sale - unfortunately it was sold, but he recommend that I look here. I am looking to buy a Mini saloon (70's, 80's or early 90's - not a Clubman) for ~£2000-£3000 and could just do with some advice/a few pointers please. I'm looking for a 1275 - 1400cc, one that looks & sounds 'pokey' as a second car - just for some fun, not as a project and one that therefore doesn't really need anything doing on it - I don't have the time anymore... I'm not massively mechanically minded but did own a few Minis in my dim & distant past - ok, it's a mid-life crisis then...!!
I'm just after some pointers please as to where to look (I've been looking in the press / Mini mags/ BMC / internet etc.) I would also appreciate a steer re a classic car insurer.
I live just south of Birmingham, but could obviously travel for the right car.
If any of the members are able to help, that would be great! Thanks in advance.

Hi,

 

 

I am getting married on the 20th June 2014 and my dad's first car was a mini cooper which he remembers very fondly.

It would be an amazing surprise if a mini would turn up to drive us to the registry in Chelsea, London on my special day!

My budget is pretty tight so I would really welcome any suggestions ( or offers ) You really would be creating a lot of happiness for the best dad in the world.

 

 

Many thanks,

 

 

Christina

Just browsing the net in reference to Minis.

 

Just about to start a resto on a 1969 Austin Mini Cooper S that has been living in my garage for 14 years. It's still buried (covered up) with car stuff from other cars as well as some parts I ordered way back when I got it, and it has a friend behind it being my sisters (passed away in 2000) 1965 Austin mini with the stock lump 850. This car ran when I put it in the garage but by now the carbs will need some help to come back to life.

I would like to start on the resto but after some reading on the net, I'm beginning to wonder where I could start in my limited space. Presently we're house hunting in hopes of finding a house where I can put in a metal building for a shop since the garage just seems to fill up and hinder in depth fixing of just about anything I drag in.

What can I do to begin the resto under these circumstances? I would like to do something. I have hopes when we find a house or a I sell my Mustang to put a rostiserie in the garage and do the floor first since it has to be removed completely. I already have a one piece MKIV floor I got across the pond but since it is a MKIV, I'll have to do a few adjustments to make it a MKII and I'm sure when I begin removing the old rusty floor some more surprises will be in store. I've hunted a bit for a clean shell with no luck.

So that is where I am. Where could I start?

I found the Forum while looking for info on Mini stuff.

 

Went: "Oh yes. Thank god. People who actually know what they are talking about!"

Hi
I'm from Dewsbury, found out about this website from a guy at work who has restored 2x minis.

I'm here because I'm restoring a 1994 Mayfair!!

[theotto_motto]

Im from Surrey, England.

 

Came across the site while researching minis, I have a huge interest in the little car and (being 15) am looking for a respectable first car.

 

Looking for a 90s rover mini mayfair that I can make look like a mk1, with mk1 grille etc. I have no intent to fake the car just personal satisfaction.

 

Thanks :)
