Make sure you have some security and don't tell anyone what it is. This bloke's Mini was only out of restoration for a couple of days.

I feel for the guy. If that was me after spending so much time restoring it I would be gutted.
The insurance money cannot compensate for the amount of blood, sweat and tears
