Jake Jake Jake!

What a beautiful mini thirty you have there. I'm particularly keen on the apparent originality of the car, and it certainly looks to be in fab condition! >_<

I do have some questions for you too! More wonderings really ... I wondered if you bought it like this, or have worked on it yourself, how long you've had her, if she has a name and if she is your first mini or not?

It is is pretty good condition had a respray 6 years ago only a few small bits of rust trying to come through the paint, I love the look its not quite standard the bumpers, grille, wheels, arches, filler cap, quick relese grill (doesn't work yet, the knobs just sit there). Also some things you cannot see are not standard such as suspesion exhaust manifold hiff44 carb front breaks, a 1400cc engine from minisport >_< and a couple more things.

I bought her pretty much like this but will be looking after her well aswell as making a few changes.
I have had her about a month but only been able to drive her for 4 days! having only just passed my test.
No name yet and is my first mini and my first car, lernt to drive in a 1.6 cooper

Welcome to TMF.

That is a very nice 30, looks fairly orginal yet has some modifications, i'm tempted to buy some cornerbars for my 30 now...

I'm loving your mini 30. I miss mine so much, it was wrote off by a boy racer! The colour is one of the best the mini came in IMO!
