Yeah picked it up earlier, very happy with it, full service history, all original documents kept sealed up including purchase reciept, sales brochure, magazine feature and receipts for thousands including a detailed resto folder and cd showing all the work done in 2001

Puts mine to shame though.

[Phil J]

Noo, it needs two new door skins , it did have a resto a few years back but the one thing they didnt do was the doors still pretty original though, will get Corina to sign up tomorow

[taffy1967]

Fantastic and don't worry, my doors seriously need sorting as for starters I've got a nasty big hole at the bottom of my drivers door.

[thereddwarf]

so where are all the pics???....or is corina driving it so much its not still for long enough?

[Phil J]

Will take some pics tomorow, polished it all up today and bought new battery as the one on there was the original one from new

[corina]

Absolutely loving the mini ;D ;D ;D Not sure about the names you have suggested as it is a boy lol....... and wd41 is a mouthfull ;D

Drove it to work today and it was brill, couldn't stop smiling ;D

Not sure if I want to keep it now or let Phil have it as I can't do what I want to it I know I am fickle, I have been told enough times ;D

Was it a red topped 'Rover' branded battery with a see through case so you knew when to top up the cells?

Even though I replaced my original Rover battery years ago, I kept it for a while and used it as a door stop in the garage. Well I found it hard to part with.

;D

Looks just like my cooper Muttley - almost same reg too.

I hope she keeps it as it is, very clean car, bit off bubbling on bottom of doors but very clean elsewhere, nice unmolested original Cooper so I think it should stay like that,

Well I'm biased and hope it stays like that too and why change absolute perfection anyway?

Yes, if it ain't broke, why fix it?

[boycie101]

so has it got a name yet or do we call it thingy lol

[welshjosh]

Like Nwdy init

Why because it's new to them or does that relate to the registration number?

[Phil J]

Will definatly be staying original now, 2 new door skins, possible front panel and 2 rear repair panels will be ordered in a while then get it back to A1 condition, It has new subframe and runs great so it's mainly cosmetic and would be a shame to change it

Sorry just re-read the thread and noticed the reg details.



Anyway yes it'd be great to keep it as it is.

[Phil J]

Just told Corina, and she says yes to Noddy

[taffy1967]

Well there's this Noddy: -



Or this Noddy with his mates from the legendary 1970's Glam Rock group Slade: -





;D

[Phil J]

I would go with the later, but knowing her she will make a bright blue hat for it in the morning ;D

[taffy1967]

Well here's a Slade send up by Reeves & Mortimer and friends: -



Shame it's an Imp and not a Mini: -



;D
