Some really nice cars already. Would love to have a peek into more of your garages

My 75 estate now on Irish plates and being restored this Winter


My 68 MKII 850 Irish CKD


My 90 RSP now returned to standard


My 61 CKD van that went from this

to this

My 1980 1275GT complete with a Suzuki Swift GTi 16v engine.


And lastly,my 1960 MKI CKD Austin Seven awaiting restoration.I have started gathering panels for this and plan to put a hot 1lt in it eventually.

Was the van in a recent Mini World?

Yes Tim,it is still a work in progress to get all the correct bits on it but I tend to get them on the road and then slowly get them to the way I want.

Our Mk2 is on wheels for the first time in years. A barn find that didn't need any body work, and beautifully straight.

The idea is to build a Mk2 Cooper Car Co replica, and Dr Mabo's white car (in an earlier post on this thread) is an inspiration. Apologies for the poor quality phone pics, but I am so excited to see it out in the sun for the first time that I had to show it here too

My Minis.

Which looks like this.

Some of my collection 1971 1275gt 1967 mini moke mk2 cooper s police car and my 1990 r s p cooper s works .

I like that 1275GT a lot.

Some stunning cars there!

850 SD what is the plan for the Almond Green car? Love that agro Paceman too.

Love your garage! Must be the neatest garage ever.

I'm guessing you're in Slovenia? is there a big Mini community there?

thank you gpmini.
i am glad you like my garage. i enjoy to work in my garage very much.
yes i am from Slovenia. it is very small country and less than 2 million people.
mini community is not very big but we have some very nice minis here.
not many people knows that we produced austin 1300 and partially minis too in Slovenia. that was early seventies.
there is an article in august Mini Magazin about Mini history in Slovenia / Yugoslavia / Balkan.

Austin Mini Cooper (S) 1962 for historic rally - and a Morris Mini 1000 Deluxe from 1968 as a summer car.

Kenneth,

That picture of your Blue car is absolutely FANTASTIC!

Thanks for sharing it with us.

I agree Mark, its a stunning pic. It did leave me wondering if the chevron tape over the railway track would slow a train down at all...

Here's a very small part of my collection



My collection of real ones has just gone back up to three with the addition of an Innocenti



which joins the '68 Morris Traveller



and my 1993 Mini Sprite, which will soon be up for sale.

Great pics as usual Surf. If that's your garage block I'm very jealous!
