 So, I'm hoping this works, I did get up there the other week, however it was more of a late Breakfast than early doors!  A Great drive, little traffic (except for hundreds at the Storey Arms!!)  So is this enough to get PPN nominated for Car Of the Month in April? Cheers Stuart JC, Some more for you, A Couple of the rear, the interior, and the engine bay thrown in for good measure!! Enjoy! (I hope)     |

Cheers JC.......
And it should get better, it's taken me a year to source a matching set of Lucas SFT700 New Old Stock Spot & Lamps (2SFT's & 2CLR's) via Ebay and other places, and I've got a replica Works Lamp Bar on a UPS truck to me. I'm getting a one off wiring loom made for them, so anything caught in my fullbeam is in for a scorching! Plus it's going to look so mean once their are fitted!!!

Awesome Cooper S, but wasn't this taken on the Bwlch mountain, because that looks like my home town down there: - Surely this is on the way up the Bwlch from the other side?: - Wish I'd known you were up there because we could have met up. |

Stunning scenery. The hills look ok as well.   Nice to see You've kept the suspension wet. Have you done any mods to the suspension at all.?? |

Taffy, Well observed, went up through to Nantymoel, down into Treherbet and then on through to Treorci and over the top to Brecon, turned around at Libanus, queue was too long for a coffee then blasted all the way back!!! Took several shots at several locations......
Did invite whoever was able, but no takers so went solo......great fun!

Dai,
No suspension mods, all original, like to keep it as original as I can with only period mods if any...

Hi Stuart OK, gotta ask! Why no over riders on the back bumper and why no corner bars at all? and why 2 different front seats? Oh yes, and if you are ever gonna sell it will you give me 1st refusal? jc |

I don't think MKII's came with corner bars as standard?

I bet you put it through it's paces on these bends on the way down the Bwlch?  My favourite road is the one on the way from Bleangwynfi/Abergwynfi towards the Bwlch, because the bends there are short and tight and perfect for Minis. ;D |

JC,
No corner bars were fitted to Mark 2 Mini's, only overiders front and back, the rears are missing after some clown in a transit tail ended it and the overiders have yet to be fitted, mind you it got a new boot lid boot floor lights et al as a result so no fear of rust there! Also have a New Old Stock Lucas 576 reversing light to be fitted too over the next few weeks!! The seats I have to blame the previous owner for, he gave away the original recliners to his best mate as a wedding present!!!!!!!.
Seats are therefore also on my list of things to do, got my ear to the ground as much as I can, and preferably want some period bucket seats...all in good time!
Cheers
Stuart.
PS for Taffy..yes great fun tearing around those roads...managed to frighten myself on more than one occasion!!
