As you can see, Dilly has gone through a lot of changes since I first got it as standard 3 years ago.
The mini has MOT, but is declared SORN since she has been off the road. The last MOT failed on a rear subframe and a weak handbrake. A new subframe from minispares was fitted and all new handbrake cables added.
I am going to give the car a going over for anything that might need doing before she goes. But since a service has already been carried out before Riviera run this year, im not sure there is much to do. With the service I replaced the distributor cap, Rotor Arm, Changed the Castrol GTX, Denso Iridium Plugs and a new oil filter. Please remember that I cannot offer any warranty other than the goodridge lifetime warranty which is supplied with the braided brake hoses.
I will also be including Approx. 1Ltr of Ducatti Yellow, 0.5Ltr Jet Black, Hardeners and Thinners.

And Now, Back to the raffle…
This raffle is going to be kept exclusive for registered users of TMF only.
This raffle will have a limited number of tickets, and the possibility to purchase more than just one ticket will be available. The tickets are on a first come first serve basis and once the tickets have gone, the draw will commence* at the nearest show available at that time.
The ticket prices are set at £20.00 each, limiting the maximum allowed tickets to 200. A break point has been set so that in the event of tickets not selling out before the cut off date, the risk of having the raffle cancelled and money returned is kept to a minimum. The break point will not be disclosed but it is set at a very reasonable number, to which nearly increases your chances of winning by 25%. The cut-off date will be revealed shortly so please keep checking back here for updates on the situation!
• If the tickets do not reach the limit by the cut off date, but have exceeded the break point. The raffle will take place at the nearest possible show date to the end of ticket sales.
Below I will start a list, and from this each person will add their username and in brackets put how many tickets they would like to purchase. From this, I will contact each of you one by one. For instance:
- Mighty_Mini (1)
- Etc
Payment will be available in the usual forms – Bank Transfer, PayPal, Postal Order, Cash and Cheque. Once the money is received, it will be withdrawn and stored in another account for security. Each user will receive a copy of my details with the payment confirmation.
Tickets will not be numbers, but usernames. So if one person buys two tickets, they get their username entered twice. This way, not everyone will have to attend the draw and it will be easier to identify/notify the winner. Once the draw is complete, the remaining tickets will be counted to ensure no fixing could have taken place.
The draw and making of the tickets will be out of my hands, a suitable third party will be selected and another person will be selected for the draw itself.
The Draw
On the day of the draw I will be present, but at the moment I do not have the intention of bringing the car since I will not have insurance. With the winner, I will arrange a pickup date where I will sign over the car, and produce a receipt of ownership.
I aim to have the tickets sold before one of the major mini shows nearer the following couple of months, but it will all depend on popularity of the raffle.
!!!!!!!! TELL EVERYONE !!!!!!!!
For any other information, please contact me via PM or email and I will respond as quickly as possible. I will leave the list to build up a little and start making contact as of Monday 15th May. I will be going through the list one by one, so please be patient…
Do not post any questions on this thread; please do so through PM/Email.
Please Begin the list below as described, and nothing else.
Thank You and Good Luck!
