Hello all!

Picked this up yesterday, and after a mere 45 minutes on the road I’m already hooked!

Have pined after one since a was a kid so I’m delighted to have picked up this wee beaut.

Looking forward to sorting out its foibles which include an oil leak (shock) and damp carpet (guessing door seals for now).

I’m based in Surrey near Dorking/Reigate so do keep an eye out for me as I’m planning on driving this as much as possible :)

Welcome. Im over in guildford if you ever want to chat. Im no expert though.

For shocks just buy a new set all the way round. Cheap and easy to install.

Damp carpet could be from anything. Get the garden hose and a helper and spray away.

Hello all,

 

Picked up my 1st Mini yesterday...a 1971 Morris Mini done to Cooper S Spec with a 1380cc engine. A few issues to solve, so I'll be asking for some advice!
