I decided to start a thread for Lily. Its more of a tidy up thread rather than a rebuild!!

Ive owned Lily now for nearly a year, I bought her in time for my 18th and got her off an old lady in Cheltenham. When I got her she was original, with only 28,000 miles on the clock.

These are pics of Lily that were on autotrader and when I got her:

Since I bought her, I have put some white minilites on her:

And got her some cobra classic seats:

Ive also painted her wing mirrors white (after some =] smashed one) and put some overriders on her:

Soon Lily will be going to the Mini hospital, as she has a dent in her boot (from the person before!) and a bit of rust on her drivers door. I will post piccys wen shes been mended!

There are also two other minis in mine and my boyfriends mini family (both belonging to him!). First of all is Ruby. She is a '86 Mini City, but at the moment she isnt on the road, as she needs restoring. Theses are pics of her when she was working!:

it went with all the other london themed editions, it was going to be the wimbeldon i believe.

but they couldnt call it that, someone important said no, so it went to be the advantage

i *think*

im sure someone more intelligent will tell me if i was right
