Hi,

 

I picked up this addition to my garage last night and it only caught alight once on the drive back home! 

 

It’s a 1996 1275 SPI Mini Sprite underneath those decals.

 

It’s my second mini, the first was 21 years ago so I’m planning on learning everything all over again. Like just how poor the headlights are!!!

 

I have bought it to have as a little project. Not sure what I’m going to do with it yet, but it needs some tinkering, and a fire extinguisher.

MOT history suggests 2 front tyres and rear radius arm refurb need doing at some point.

I look forward to seeing what you do with it.

Yes indeed, she’s currently up in the garage with all four corners off assessing what needs doing.
Thinking of taking her on to 10’s so will get all new boots when I do.
She’s only going to cover a 1000 or so miles a yeah so no rush.

Yep, I think the martini colours are great as well.
The old group B rally Lancia looked fantastic.

Yeah the colours are growing on me, although I may be selling her on soon, I’ve got the chance to buy a van and it’s an itch I think I might have to scratch!
