saw this on ebay last night and as its only 5mins from my house T2clubby took me to look at it after work today. turns out its a chap i've met a few times before and the car is an absolute minter. left him a deposit and i'm off to pick it up tomorrow night, watch this space for the demise of the matt black beastie as the engine will end up in the new one soon enough *happy*




and here's the ebay link...

yup thats the plan dude, going to get in touch with the heritage people and see what they can find out.

Cars almost standard aswell except for the wheels and mutro 4 pot brakes. I think all i'll be doing to it is a set of 10" rostyles and lowering it a bit, dont want it look like anything special on the outside.
I was going to rip the engine out straight away to get it prepped for the turbo lump but now i'm thinking of running it as a thou for a few months so i can save up and rebuild my turbo lump as its a bit tired now (and not quick enough *wink* )

Looks good, I used to have a Mini that colour, it is called Damask Red if you ever need to do any paint.

That is a pretty looking car, always had a soft spot for a nice looking clubby.

cheers tom, that'll save me some hassle. Was going to ask if anyone knew the name of it so i can grab a few litres to keep before celly goes off the market and to make the engine bay shiney again.

I am 99% sure it is that colour anyway, but just double check at a paint place with their chips to make sure, as sometimes photos on the computer can change the colours a but.

That's just like my old Clubman, same colour etc.

I saw that on ebay myself and was very tempted. Great example and good price.

Sold mine 20 years ago!

Cheers for all the nice comments guys *happy*

Drove it home earlier and man its slow! I hope i get used to the sheer power of the thou over the next few months while the turbo donkey gets a rebuild. Undecided on what wheels to go for now though, i've seen a set of banded steelies for sale that i reckon would look pretty cool. Or i might just keep me eye open for some rostyles. Have also got a set of wellers and 10" starmags sitting here aswell though. Decisions decisions!

going to give it a good wash and T-cut and waxing this weekend and hopefully make it shine properly. theres only a couple of grotty bits that need attention at the minute aswell, a tiny little patch either side at the bottom of the B post. Can't moan though for 900 quid, i'm well chuffed *happy*
