my dear little 1986 mayfair was called Wedge when i first got her because the number plate is WEG.
This name never stuck and one day when welding on her with my neighbour we were chattng and i reeled off a list of all the things that
have been bodged and the name Bodge suddenly sprang to mind. This name im glad to say has now stuck.

has arthur got nimbus grey arches random but just wandered if they are original or you got them for minispares etc etc

Oooh, is that what he's got?! Ta for that, very exciting - original as far as I know, they appear to be rivetted on so seem pretty much like they've been there since 1988!

I've got Cliffy, who is named after my wife's family (Clifton) who have had him for 13 of his 16 years.
And we'd had him for one. He's a 1993 Mayfair.



And I've also got Dante. He's a Racing Flame Red. He is in the process of being given a LOT of TLC.

We have a red 94 Cooper called 'Alice'. Being an ageing rocker it seemed like the only name for a Cooper (Alice Cooper, you see what I did there? )
We also have a Mini Rose (89 I think, but I can't remember) called Gypsy because she was living on a trailer in a field. She's currently undergoing a complete rebuild.

I have a 1987 Mini City E called Luna, I'm really not to sure why, the reg ends in ELU so I guess part of it came from there, it seems to suit her though. I used to get teased that it was sort for Luna-tic!

I also have a 1970 Clubman Estate called Doris. Named so after the local old lady who used her to deliver newspapers in her until she could no longer drive, where Doris was parked up for 11 years before I bought her. It seemed a fitting tribute to the Late Doris Jennings
