Yes Tim,it is still a work in progress to get all the correct bits on it but I tend to get them on the road and then slowly get them to the way I want.

Our Mk2 is on wheels for the first time in years. A barn find that didn't need any body work, and beautifully straight.
The idea is to build a Mk2 Cooper Car Co replica, and Dr Mabo's white car (in an earlier post on this thread) is an inspiration. Apologies for the poor quality phone pics, but I am so excited to see it out in the sun for the first time that I had to show it here too

Love your garage! Must be the neatest garage ever.
I'm guessing you're in Slovenia? is there a big Mini community there?

thank you gpmini.
i am glad you like my garage. i enjoy to work in my garage very much.
yes i am from Slovenia. it is very small country and less than 2 million people.
mini community is not very big but we have some very nice minis here.
not many people knows that we produced austin 1300 and partially minis too in Slovenia. that was early seventies.
there is an article in august Mini Magazin about Mini history in Slovenia / Yugoslavia / Balkan.

I agree Mark, its a stunning pic. It did leave me wondering if the chevron tape over the railway track would slow a train down at all...

Here's a very small part of my collection
My collection of real ones has just gone back up to three with the addition of an Innocenti
which joins the '68 Morris Traveller
and my 1993 Mini Sprite, which will soon be up for sale.
