Hi

I am a Neurosurgeon from Lahore Pakistan who is also a serial Mini philanderer....having had a 998 Cooper Mk2 and then a Mk1 with a conversion to a Honda Vtec drivetrain. Now have just bought a Japanese Mini Spi 1271 cc that needs a full restoration.

 

I have several " interesting " cars including 

a 66 Porsche 912

a 63 Ford Cortina ( Mazda Miata engine conversion)

a 65 Alfa Romeo GTV step nose with a Twinspark conversion

a 81 alfa Romeo GTV6

A Toyota Corolla SR coupe 1973 with a 4AGE20V conversion

 

I have let go of several cars including a couple of Locost type Caterham 7 replicas

An Alfa Romeo 1750GTV series 1

A Fiat Spider 1800 

A couple of Fiat 124 Sport Coupes a BC and a CC

A Toyota Celica TA22 1974

 

 

But more of that. I am sure you will want to know about the Mini. I shall post up the restoration of that soon

The panel beater (denter) is very talented, he makes a mk1 bootlid from scratch as well as the boot floor and many other panels and even rebuilds a very rusty rear subframe!
