any have a mk1 mini needing TLC???

Post by 1minifreak »

Hi im on with building my 1965 Cooper'S. ive just started,The engine and box are total rebuilt.
But the other night my wife drops the bombshell and says to a friend "im looking forwards to using the Cooper'S when its finished!". Now as my wife is a good driver,She's alittle boy racer on the road,at the right times.
Now as the Cooper'S is a good investment a daily user it wont be.
so im looking for a mk1 mini 850 or 1000 that needs TLC, CAN ANYONE HELP???

My number is 07770 354809 Dave

trust me it wont put her off as i have a supercharged mx5 which goes sideways in a breath! I went to alton park on a drift day,now i would say i am quite good with drifting the mazda,But when my wife had a go for the first time!! she show some of the people ive seen there before a thing or two,It put a fair old smile on my face!!lol!!
But back to it a mk1 mini would be nice for her!! :lol:
