Re: 1964 Countryman woody
Looks like that van full of parts will keep you out of mischief for a couple of months at least 
And that is just to record all the bits! Keep the updates coming.

Re: 1964 Countryman woody
A bit of history:
Taken off the road in '76 after two owners and 68K(??) miles. Stored on the 2nd owner's farm (in a barn naturally) for the next 40 years.
This is what it looked like before work started: Since then it's been someone's project for a few years. But they've decided that their many existing Minis are enough so they've sold this one on, after re-building a decent straight shell using heritage panels.
It's not on the DVLA database but I do have the 1st and 2nd owners' buff logbooks, and the final tax-disc. Should be enough to retain the original reg.

Re: 1964 Countryman woody
That's a great project. I saw it advertised and was sorely tempted myself. Good luck with it

Thank you. Don't suppose I'll really make a start on it until next winter, now.Old English White wrote: ↑Mon Mar 20, 2023 7:22 am That's a great project. I saw it advertised and was sorely tempted myself. Good luck with it
The seller had quite a hard time shifting it. I guess total newbies couldn't evaluate the completeness of the pile of bits, and the experienced wouldn't want someone else's half-done project.
