I have had Minis since I first started driving 23 years ago (yes I am 40). The wife and I have had at least 1 Mini at all times and at one point had 3.
The current 1 is a Cooper RSP which is in a proper mess and I as soon as I finish my other restoration I will get to it.
I am on other Mini forums so if you want to see the gruesome pics they are in the Restoration section on SMF under Black Ugly. A taster attached.
I am looking for a 1275 engine in the near future if anyone has one at a reasonable price?
