Other important happenings where buying a large amount of S parts 2 days before

To top it off in the parts I bought off the guy was a bonnet off my fathers Mk1 Cooper (along with the seats and doors!), he sold the car to him in 1981 and it was scrapped luckily he kept the spares off it. My old man had no idea so i had it setup on the top table and then presented it to him. He was very emotional and I also as it was the first Mini I had ever been in as a kid!
Bloody Chuffed all round
