hi all.

washing one of my many minis today (i know what your thinking - snow + washing car = freezing, but when i start a wheels off clean im gunna blooming well finish it!!!) and a big jag estate pulls up.

old couple jump out, and say they've noticed all the minis many times, and want to know if id like a dash and steering wheel, other wise it would be off down the tip!

of course i agreed to have a look, and he pulled out the boot these incredible pieces. brand new!! apparently they had a mini years ago and this was bought and never used.

anyone else had such luck???
