I'm sure some of you will remember Andy's mini from our Bingley stand:

Today on the way to Malvern everyone's worst nightmare happened - Andy and passenger are ok but pretty heart broken as I'm sure you will understand:

I know this is a big ask but does anyone on TMF know of a saloon project we can help get Andy or any unwanted spares/parts we could donate to him to get him back on his feet? Please let me know, thanks for reading :thumbsup:

Any stage really if we can help get panels for it, he built all that mini himself so he's more than capable of restoring a real project.

I can't get the full details from him as his phone was also burnt, he's put what he thought it might be on facebook but I'll leave it to him to say.

He thinks the trailer might be saved which I guess is a good thing to come out of it. Bless him!
