I am now the proud owner of a 1973 Mini Clubman Estate with 25K and original service history! She was trailered to Devon from Felixstowe at the weekend and is now relaxing in my garage awaiting restoration.

Does anyone know is there are any Mini spares places or clubs in Devon?

Thanks

welcome to tmf - im not from round there but no doubt someone will shed some light on mini clubs and shops - dont forget to check the regional section though. Do you have any pictures of this mini for us?

Please visit us on the CER forum. And please make sure you register the car in case we haven't got it already!

Good choice of car! Look forward to seeing some pictures.

How's this for starters? A little bit of work to do...

Doesn't look bad at all. Well done.

Will be resprayed Old English White when finished. Not sure what British Leyland were thinking when they teamed mustard yellow with navy vinyl seats!

I'm not sure what BL were thinking most of the time! Nice mini - looks like a nice project there!

Don't know if this is anywhere near you but Tupmans minis in Kingsteignton have always looked after my minis.

Thanks, I'm hoping to do most of the work with my husband (may be a bit ambitious but we'll see how it goes).

Is there a breakers yard around here? I'm in Sidmouth, East Devon.
