I've just bought a new project (Mini)

mk1 · Post by **mk1** » Fri Oct 01, 2010 7:46 am

Well after this summers grumbling about Minis & the silly prices that they are now achieving I have just bought myself a new project. It's more money than I have ever spent on a Min before but is something quite interesting & different.

Can't say any more at the mo, but as they say, watch this space.

I am intrigued.

Tease us by telling us what colour it is?

Has it got a steel body?

Ha ! So much for keeping it quiet !

Yes it is steel , quite a significant car , the real deal and shows that interesting finds are still out there.

It has to be some sort of racing Mini??

Or maybe a gen Downton car?

Is it something that has passed through your hands Pete?

Amazingly, and sadly, no !

Sorry to leave you in suspenders Tom but I'll leave it to Mark to reveal all as and when.

Pete very kindly put me onto it.

The deal is done, I have paid my deposit & will be collecting it later this week.

It is as Pete says, a genuinely interesting car with a steel body & will make a very nice winter project ready for the 50th aniversary of the Cooper next summer.

Other than that my lips are sealed at the moment.

All I can say is I'm quite excited as I'm sure Mark is.

Cool. So its an early Cooper of some sort... with a steel bodykit and big sound system?

And a large spoiler.

I'm thinking VTEC.

I have a sneeking suspicion that I can gues what it is........ I shall put my guess in a sealed envelope, to be revealed when Mark owns up to what it is

If I'm right, I'm VERY jealous!

Al's guess was good, but wrong.
