MINI WILL
Hi guys I’ve seen a 1979 mini clubman that I might buy on eBay but its missing the commission number plate (the red one) that should be on the slam panel is this important as the seller does not have it. Any help will be great thanks =)

That car's certainly been changed a bit from standard - early 80s Mayfair interior, late Cooper wheels (possibly brakes too) and an 80s Metro lump. I am not convinced that that colour was a '79 shade either (could've been resprayed). If it's originality you want, then it's not the car for you! As stated above though, the missing tag could just be something that's gone missing over the years. It's worth a look as you're not too far away - if there's anyt...

Thanks I went and had a quick look and it’s got rust in nearly all of the panels - around the roof in the rear quarters by the radius arms, bonnet, A panel, boot hinge panel, so the search will go on thanks for your help much appreciated

Looking at getting my spare MPi block rebored, new cam bearings, and worked crank. Who would be suggest that would do it in a reasonable lead time, and not cost the earth?

Ac Dodd for the block work, around 130 for next size up, and cam bearings, he'll need your pistons. He can also get your crank ground but longer lead time

8.4" but the parts I have are the same for both, you need some other stuff for drums.

Wish now I had ordered a new loom before taking the old one out. 10 week wait for new one to be made is frustrating!

Spent the day at Tyldesley Model Flying club taking part in 3 competitions. I had to drop eggs from my plane, fly under a wire as many times in 2 minutes and then a competition called 'roops' Didn't win but didn't come last in anything.
