Had a selection of MK3-5s over the the last 20 years but never anything too special, just modded stuff.
However, have spent the last five years touring as much of Europe as humanly possible in a reshelled 67' bitsa
Have now Mini'ed as far east as Prague (Tramlines are perfect for Minis ! ) as Far south east as Florence ( Mini sized roads ! ) and as far south as St Tropez. Done the most of the Alpine Roads and tunnels and would recommend the Verdon Gorge in the south of France to all mini drivers as its a fantastic but sometimes an overlooked run.
Wouldn’t recommend Genoa city drives to anyone !
as it makes Paris/Turin seem like childs play due to the millions of hornet like mopeds determined to add to your bodywork list of scratches !Plans are to now get my "new" 62 Superdelux rebuilt on the road and get to Goodwood Revival and then onto the continent in 2012...
2013 Plan is to Drive to Varna on the Black sea ! and back... maybe...
Huge thanks to all you guys and this forum as I wouldn’t have had the confidence to embark on my latest and first Mk1 project without all the help and humor contained within.
Below should be the now sold Bitsa and the half built Superdelux !
