Drive my fully restored mini for the first time!

It went straight into the garage for storage after its MOT, im working on my dads in the mean time so we will both go out for a Mini roadtrip after.

Currently I'm acquiring parts for an engine and gearbox swap for my 1980 Estate. I may even order new front cones as the pair that are fitted clunk they're that worn

A good blast around the country lanes and then a rolling road session.  Then an even better blast around the country lanes.

Getting mine roadworthy will be enough.It has been expensive in time and money for a "free" car .Steve..

A nice trip to see the tester at the MOT station, once the car is ready of course.

A run to Caffeine & machine I think initially followed by the next shelsley walsh breakfast club. All this extra time has also given me the opportunity to research a road trip to Ireland. Has anyone else done Ireland in their mini?

Prepare the car in time for the winter. Mini would be in-drivable in the middle eastern summer.

I shall get into my Cooper 'S' and drive the long way to the gliding club, get my Slingsby Vega Sport rigged and go flying. Then I'll drive my 'S' home again, the long way and on the twisty lanes.

In the meantime I'll get on with restoring my Grandson's 1985 Mayfair 998 which will be a Mk.1 Cooper replica.
