Mine hasn't changed much externally in the past decade, but it has changed under the bonnet a little bit!

Here it is with the date stamp (remember those cameras?)




By October, it passed the MOT.




13 days later, it was an insurance write off, courtesy of a businessman on his mobile (he pulled out of a side-road into two lanes of traffic, ending up in my door), pushing me sideways and into a parked car.





Repaired, and with a new paint colour throughout as they couldn't match it. It also paid for the high-end water-injection unit from aquamist...




Jan 1999 and it was on Weber Alpha (pic taken at Mini40)





Alpha lasted 18months, before I was tempted by DTA's promises, and then chased my tail till 2003 when I popped the carb back on. Shortly after, the nitrous was removed as i never used it (and being scared by a fuzz who decided to give me a producer that listed every mod he could see - but couldn't include the notrous as the empty bottle was at home)


Nothing much has happened since LOL! Notice the air filter is still the same one I purchased From Avonbar waaaaaaay back when!

Always wondered why there was an MPi front panel on your 1972 mini

I suspect you can read a little more about the car here http://www.manchesterminis.co.uk/members/turbodave.htm

 Is it A-Series only? I think it should be...
So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'...
