Just bought this very nice and very well made Mini Mk3 build in 1973.

MG Metro engine 10" disc brakes retored 10 years ago. Still like new.
LCB, RC40 and camber brackets at the back.

No let's see how to Downtonise this very nice little thing.

Nice one!

Nice one Kees , very similar to my 72 in many ways

Looks great Kees! Love the colour!

Tim

That is very nice and clean looking - nice and simple.

My first MK3 was tobacco yellow like that, so what did I do.......paint it Island blue and white and Cooperised it , funny how the colour looks good these days

That looks to be in superb condition. Is it Bronze Yellow?

I had a 1275GT in that colour, brilliant colour.

I think the colour is Bracken?

Now that's a nice looking MK3, congratulations on a sweet buy.

Thanks a lot guys, it has also an LCB and a Manyflow exhaust.
More info when she/he is in my garage to see all the things.

Kees.

But there is gonna be an DOWNTON badge on it, that's for shure.

Great MK3 Kees!!!

Maybe it is time to let go of Downton and go for Vortz this time?

Anyways I am sure you have bought a great basis, for a perfect period correct car!

Yes VORTZ was also in my mind to d so

WANTED VORTZ badge

Kees

But it will be DOWNTON the company did stop in 1974
so it could be tuned by DOWNTON at the end

Some pictures with my new wheels on it. JBW Rose Petal with A008 Yokohama's.

Well done Kees, very nice. I had a lovely 77 850 in that colour years ago. Wish i’d Kept it (but we all say that about all our old cars don’t we!)

So is it bronze yellow or sand glow?

Thanks, it is bronze yellow, sand glow came as far as I know in 1977.

Kees.

Nice car Kees, congratulations! love the colour!
