If it ever doesn't start, remember to "Give it a damn good thrashing!"

My first Mini fleet;



Think this must have been around 2001/2002.

I Like that. Reminds me of a picture of a Mini collection that had me drooling in the 90's. Lovely

been a while since ive visited the forum came across this interesting thread some really nice cars on here.

my collection was actually my dads but passed on to myself and my brother after he passes away he was friends with alot of people in the MCR so some people may recognise his cars.

collection consists of...

1967 Morris cooper s (needs work done not been on the road since early 80s)
1964 Austin cooper s 1071cc
1962 Austin mini Super
1965 Morris cooper s deluxe
1965 Austin cooper s 970cc

Stunning collection, and great looking cars. 970, 1071 and 1275 Cooper S's amongst them, yummy

Thought I better share.


HOPE YOU LIKE

Added this one to the fleet in the summer



PS The white one will soon be up for sale once I've cleaned it up and got it back from Mr Harbers place.

Hi, these two are mine, the Mk1 is actually a 1960 car that has been "Cooperised". It has 7.5" discs, twin tanks, 120mph speedo, 2x 1.5" SU's 1.5 rockers, rimflow valves, Kent 276 cam, lightened flywheel, c/r gearbox, etc. I tend to use for club events and occasionally around town. The Mk2 is a UK manufactured shell, May/June from glass dates and is currently parked up in the garage awaiting surgery (rust removal) followed by a rebuild and repaint. At the moment I'm trying to decide which rims to put on, I have several choices, Cosmic (Mk2), original 4.5" rims, 5" minilites or buy something else. My intial thoughts were the Cosmics and group 2 flares to go with a "black and white" colour scheme. I have been collecting parts for the last 3-4 years so that when I start I will have most pieces on hand when the work commences. And yes I know it has an Austin grille and Morris badges, the car is registered as an Austin and I have Austin badges ready to be fitted but I have to fill the holes left by the Morris bonnet badge first. sorry for the poor quality of the photos.

ok,,, so they aren`t all minis, but still





little old n shabby 1071 S




















plus (my first car ever) an old woody wagon we are restoring it shortly, but can`1t seem to find any photos of it, i1ll have to take some now won`t i?

Plus a late rover mini we are fitting another Monaco fasdtback roof to it with Nissan micra turbo engine

Madmatt somehow I missed your post. What a fabulous collection of cars you have! I love the 1071 S, the splitwindow Kombi, the wide wheeled racer, the Marcos, the Traveller...

Original post says minis you own .not owned

Finally I have managed to get a website up of our cars. It is still a work in progress and I'd love to hear your thoughts and suggestions for improvements. The idea is to build up the cars history over time on the site (rather than have it stuck in a crate somewhere in storage, as is currently the case). For now it is mostly pics of the cars. BE WARNED the site is picture intensive (some high res) so can be slow depending on your internet connection. And yes, they are mostly projects...
