Hope this is in the right section!  Had mini's for years, had a 99 Paul Smith that I got as an ex demo that I had for 13 years until some lowlifes broke into my lockup, stripped it and vandelized it.  I grieved for a year and then i bought this.  A little old lady bog standard 95 SPI Mayfair with a huge history file and only a couple of bits of rust.

Kept it standard for a month or two before adding an electric webasto, RC40 and minilights.

I then decided to build my ultimate mini, the mini I'd always wanted.  Its pretty much there now, except the engine which is ultra reliable with FSH and 77k miles.  Not sure whether to wait until it needs a rebuild or just do it now.  Anyway, picked it up today.  Its had all dents and a few small rust patches replaced, new A panels and scuttle, new rear subframe, hi lo's all round with gas shocks, 7.5" disc conversion and 6x10 Minator's with A032-R's.  So pleased with it!!

That looks fantastic! Who fitted the Webasto for you, as going to get one for my 1995 Sidewalk. Going down to 10's, got wheels, just need the brake conversion now!

Thank you! It was a place called Autoroofs in Leicester. Took an afternoon to fit but had to wait a month as they were on back order. Makes a huge difference, think it makes the car. I used a Huddersfield mini spares brake conversion kit. Only got the car back today so they are still bedding in but pretty impressed with them. Love the look of 10" wheels on later minis!

A lovely looking mini. It looks to have been pretty much perfect condition when you pcked it up. You have to the love the little old lady, one owner cars. 

 

The roof looks to be a good job as well. The next time it is out in the rain will be the real test.

Many thanks. It had a few dents and buts if rust so I just decided to get it all sorted out. The roof was done last year. No leaks at all, had it done professionally. Body wise, won't do any mods at all. Want it be a late model Mayfair with a bit if an attitude, think I've achieved it.

Excellent, I think MK2 rear lights would improve it even further!

I think so too but trying to keep the body as a 95 Mayfair, kind of OEM+. Love your clubman by the way!

White paint and chrome looks so classy on a mini.

really lovely car mate. I'm not surprised you are so pleased with it.

I would!
