Hi All!

Im trying to find my very first mini. I had rebuilt it from bare shell when i first got it as it had rusted away alot! but after alot of problems i had to let him go about 6-7 years ago now!

Iv always kept an eye out incase i ever saw him but have not as yet so im kind of hoping the current owner might be on here.

If so get in touch be nice to see how hes changed over the years :)

This was him when i last had him

That's good news. How did you go about tracking it down?

[woodley miniman]

That's great news!!!! How did you manage to track him down in the end. Your have to put some pics up when you collect him. Well done.

Thanks all :) well weirdly enough my partner found him on ebay and put him on our watch list but didn't twig it was him as hes currently in bits with the engine out ( i don't know why.. ) but it shouldn't take us more than a week or two to put him back together, the body work is like how i last saw him the only down side is someone has got rid of the matching bumpers and at some point had a check roof on him but that's been taken off.

Will take some pics when i collect him x
