Hi, I'm Lee from Nr Selby in North Yorkshire and I've been fiddling with Minis with varying levels of success for 20 years now
Ive owned 9 minis if you include my 07 Cooper S daily.

My current toy is a Island Blue 1966 Austin Mk1 known to everyone in our house as Avril.





I'm currently working on a new engine for the old girl.

As well as minis i've own a few other interesting cars such as a 70s S class Mercedes, MGs and and Avenger Tiger.
The car I most regret selling was my 73 Mini 1275GT, i'd have it back tomorrow if I could.



I've been dipping in and out of this forum in it many guises for a few years now and this new section has suprised me, I didn't realise there were so many great cars in the north of England!

I'm sure I recognise that church in the first picture, where are you near selby? I used to live in monk fryston

Hi, yes the church is in Birkin, just up the road.
I'm in Eggborough.
I know Monk Fryston well, I work for the Highways Agency and had deal with that section of the A63.

Hi Lee, those are some really nice cars

I also have a 1973 1275GT, but not much is original BL.

Thought it was, but always get Beal and Birkin mixed up.

Nice cars Lee.
