I joined a while ago but never got around to posting anything. My collection currently stands at three Mini’s,1997 Almond Green Sportspack, 1998 Tahiti blue Spotspack and a 1979 Mini Clubman 1275GT. I have owned a total of six Minis so far.
Nice forum, some great project cars. Here's some pics of my cars;
1979 Austin Mini Clubman 1275GT
Purchased when I was 16 for the £470. Now fully restored.
1993 Rover Mini Rio 1275cc
Purchased 2003 for £2500. I spent a fortune on this car over 4 years It was rubbish looking back but as it was my first car I could drive on the road, it was fantastic regardless of its faults. It was sold as a project in April 08.
1997 Rover Mini Cooper Spotspack 1275Mpi (Almond Green)
I purchased this car at the beginning of 2007 for £2600. It had a genuine mileage of 29692 on the clock, full leather interior, webasto roof and 6months MOT/TAX. The car has passed two MOT’s since without fault, I have added 13x7 Anthracite deep dish alloys, wavy grill and a Maniflow stage 2 LCB exhaust system.
1998 Rover Mini Cooper Spotspack 1275Mpi (Tahiti Blue)
I purchased this Cooper in March 08 with 58000 miles on the clock for £900, it came with 3 months MOT/ 6 months TAX. I have since restored the wheels & added a stage 2 Maniflow LCB exhaust. This car was bought as a daily driver to reduce the mileage on my 97 Almond Cooper.
I will start a project thread documenting work carried out on all three cars.
Thanks for reading.
