This seems like a good idea for TMF also?

If you find a Mini in a scrapyard, post the details and if possible a photo in this thread.
Then others could go along or phone the yard and might find some useful spares perhaps?

this would indeed be a good idea, do you know what age the car is? does it have a logbook with it?

You know, I could see a thread like this as a stickied thread would be very helpful (Not to mention annoying to those of us in mini poor countries lol!) Probably some basic format a picture with year price location and if they have papers would be good. For people that like serious projects would be a nice quick way to scan scrap yards

Excellent idea if it helps keep cars on the road. In most cases these will end up crushed and on there way to China.

maybe not a brilliant idea to put up any ones address on here, you dont know whos looking at these forums, its like free advertising to mini thieves

[Mini-Mad-Craig]

Mini theft has gone up rapidly in the last few months and posting the exact location of rare cars is a frankly awful idea.

Lets keep this thread to Mini's that are FOR SALE. Whether they've been touched in years or not, those Minis might well be somebodys pride and joy.
