Cilla Black's wooden pickett mini! My next restoration project

My 59 mini, needs restoring!!

This was my 8 port ralley mini, Jim Whitehouse engine.

This is a 970s replica rally car

850 mini deluxe i restored last year, 31000 miles, one owner from new. Never had to put a panel on it just took apart and re-built. I will post pics of the restoration if people wanted to see?

Here is my 1275 cooper s 1966, my first restoration project!

This is a very rare 1071 1963 hooper, in a very bad state at the moment. I have all the correct dash for it, it also had a speedwell engine conversion. Have original engine but some bits missing? Does anybody have any speedwell parts? I will be restoring this next year

You have been very active lovely cars & some nice work.

Wow, a collection to die for.
That lot should keep you busy for a good long while.
