Hello TMF,
I've got a 1989 Rover Mini City E that's been sitting not being used as it should on my drive for a couple of years so I've decided to get her back up and running again ready for some track days and shows in 2018.
She's a 998cc that's been bored out to 1080cc, has some light mods done to it already (filter, exhaust and some other bits that I can't remember).
The cars been in the family since it was new, originally belonged to my grandparents. Then about 10 years ago, we gave the car a full resto which included a full back to bare metal color change respray from black to NightFire Red which was carried out by Hamish Wood and co at Brick Kiln Group over in Oxfordshire (top blokes!).
I learnt to drive in her, then I went in to the VW scene for a bit, so unfortunately Matilda has just been sat on the drive for the last 4 years.
My current daily drive is a 2014 Mini Cooper S, but that doesn't put a smile on my face like Matilda did, so I'm hoping to get her back up and running before Spring Action Day at Castle Combe next year.
I'll post some pictures up of Matilda tomorrow, but she is in a bit of a sorry state (nothing a bit of elbow grease will sort out though)!
See y'all around,
Cypher.
