Good evening, afternoon some time I picked up the Mini from the old owner premises.

We had to move some Racing Cars to push the Mini out. The Mini sat between other jewels....

Hére you have some pictures of the car after a Good clean.

And now some pictures of the rear side pockets and under the rear bench. There are still some holes where I suppose the roll cage was attached.

After the clean, I saw some dents in the body that showed older paintjobs. I've found blue and Orange paint under the brg paint.

The car has been sitting for at least 10 years. I took the plugs off and put some oil inside....what else should I do before trying to start it?

I hope you like this story.

Thanks!!!
I'm asking for pictures of the car Racing in Spain. It would be great to find some pictures of the car Racing before 1970 in the UK.
Hére you have a pic of the seventies at the Jarama circuit.
