Good Day
My name is Bryan I work in Fleet Support for "Enterprise Car Club" and a qualified Auto Electrician since 1973 so far I have owned 4 Minis and 2 ADO16 cars plus several other cars in my driving, repairing career. You are welcome to ask me any questions regarding any problems you have.
I am currently with the help of "Old Bones Fabrications" Andover restoring and improving a 1966 MK2 Riley Elf which has been a 3yr labour of love after a previous restorer ruined the first attempt. Improvements include a custom wiring loom, switchgear. Magnolia Instruments and dark walnut veneered dash inc. lower dash panels to incorporate the Radio, Speakers and a USB port, Power Socket etc. The engine has an 1.5" Carburettor, 3.44 Diff and alternator electrics. Lighting includes LED Daytime lights front Spot lamps, Reverse and rear fog lamps. Mini Reverse rims with wheel arch extensions, and will be trimmed in Leather and harris tweed inserts upholstery from a Mini Mayfair.
