That looks very smart,just watch the front number plate due to the size and font of the letters.

[simplyminis]

thanks anyway

[simplyminis]

can anyone add to the downton thing???

Not another mini! Nice one though

An old mate of mine owned a Mini with an interior like that back in around 1994 and that was a Downton.

I seem to remember he sold it on, but kept the original steering wheel.

ok bit of an update

i now know the last 3 owners

last my friend i bought it off hes clueless

the bloke he bought it off (i also know) he removed the genuine pressed right hand tank and also has the original engine that was removed from it as the crank went
he has now told me the head has downton stamped on it and he looked into it and the engine number is a downton one!

ok then the bloke he bought it off bought it from a local garage where they bought it painted it and gave it tlc and the garage claims his had all the paper worth from downton and he thinks he has still got it?

Still.. IF the Police want an excuse to pull you they will do it on the number plates.

My ex had it done to him.. he had motorbike plates on the front and rear of his almera.. The police wanted him for speeding but didn't follow him long enough to actually take a good reading... instead hey pulled him for the numberplates.

look its up to me about the plates not being funny all my minis have small plate and ive had no problem this thread is not about number plates

thanks

[simplyminis]
