after pulling the mini out of its long term resting place (last taxed 83)..I was shocked at the rust free car that I had pulled out. the front tyres where hanging off, so it was a real job getting it out, and when I tried to bounce it over, I felt my calf muscle tear, and could hardly walk
, it was pissing it down with rain and I was in a bit of a tangle 
. eventually I managed to get it lined up with the trailer and winched it on...only to bend the cross brace on the trailer where the engine hit it....the trailer running boards would not go back on the trailer unless I could straighten the crossmember so unable to unload the mini, had to crawl under and wack it back in to some sort of shape, to eventually get it sorted 
.it was a difficult drive back with my clutch leg throbbing
.but all in all it was well worth the pain as its in spectacular original condition with no rust showing and original paint and only 19k on the clock from new.
with only 9 mk2 autos showing on the how many left website....this one is definitely getting saved.
