Haha, I'm 24 too :) alsmost a quarter of a century :)

Oh, and I'm from Mayfair Sport country, LOL

And this is how she looks today. I was young and had a strong need to modifie it.
BUt I still have all the original parts, stored dry. And someday, when I'm bored of a modified Mini I'm bringing her back to original spec :)

Thanks, Mr. Vice president! ;)

There's no engine in at the moment... It's all in boxes. :)
But it's going to be the old SPI engine, upgraded to MG Metro spec.
Slightly worked Innocenti 1300 head, MG Metro cam and 'stage 1' kit, HIF44 etc. :)
Details here.

Hope she's back on the road in two weeks (my first engine & gearbox rebuild). Likely to take more time :P :)

Cheers,
Jan

I'm in the Ramstein Germany area if anyone else is near here. And I started the thread so don't I at least get to be the mascot of MSOC or something!
I believe that mine is pretty much stock except some one has put checkered bonnet and boot stripes and a checkered top decal on it.

I don't know if there's a fast number but many many were made. as said; I've seen more 'Sport' than normal Mayfairs here :P I don't know much about the 12" versions, but I think they got at least a rev counter to stand out from the Mayfair?

artic? we've 20°C right now :)
but one is still carbed :) and turboed, but one of this will have to be changed ;) and i keep the turbo :).

i think the rev counter is the main difference. and mine ('85, '86, '89) all have a leather steering wheel, the normal factory one but leather at the rim. don't know if the Mayfair used the full plastic one

Minus 20°...? :)

That's possible, although my '87 Sport had the plastic steering wheel (but that wasn't neccesarily the original one)... Do yours have the ashtray for the fond passengers?
