Have you spotted any mini's lurking in the overgrowth or looking sorry for itself on a scrap pile?


Well this is the place to post them!


I for one have always had an interest in what's been left abandoned or left behind and coming across a mini is something special and rare these days.


I wonder how many mini's are left just waitinig to be found???


Here's some I found to start it off:

I'm hoping the person that took it has repaired it! Been gone for ages and the van.

It is very common in the world of classic cars, many people have an inflated idea of what their old car is worth or say they intend to restore it one day but never get round to it and refuse to sell.......by the time they decide to sell or have to get rid it is too late and another once restorable classic car has degenerated into a basket case. :(
