Restored Minor Van - and my own tale of woe!.

Post by ERF »

Did anybody see this Minor Van LINK recently?.

I saw it at Beaulieu and was pretty impressed.
The guys selling it are a father and son restoration company from the South West who are also having some part in a Cooper S resto.

I bought a part restored early Mk1 Mini 850 '....totally complete' but in bits project car from them sight unseen (yeah yeah....I know...!) only to find there was no V5, no chassis plate (....yes, I was assured both were present before I bought it) and LOTS of parts missing!. And the new floor pan welding '....by a previous owner who was a sheet metal worker' looked like it had been done by Stevie Wonder! - I'll post some pics up for everybodies entertainment when I can!.

Oh well, you live and learn as they say!.
