Hi All,

My Dad and I have recently bought and are in the process of restoring two classic Minis.

One is a 1969 Austin Cooper S MK2. The other is a Leyland Mini GTS.

We are very new to the Mini community and are hoping to pick your brains as we go.

Regards,

Marc

Welcome,

 

As you'll know the GTS is your own local creation, so it'll be of particular exotic interest to the global Mini fraternity ('n sorority).

Hello and welcome to TMF.

 

Photos would be very interesting of both, but particularly the GTS.

Great little South African gems. Keep us posted and be sure to show photos.

 

I've just bought a 1962 South African Mini which is enroute to our shores. For everything you could possibly need to know about South African Minis, see Ryno Verster's book:

Welcome! Would be great to see some pics of your mk2 S and your GTS. You can even get original GTS arches now from one of our local parts suppliers.
