wanted a look at an old mini today ,to compare with a 1960 one im renovating a bit ,so trolled up to gaydon in the spud ,didnt know if it would be of any interest ,but thought id stick up a few pics ..


























i've concentrated on the downton one ,because its roughly the same age and colour as the one im doing .it was kind of the museum curator to let me into the roped off area ,where they are getting ready for the exhibition next week , hope they dont mind i opened the bonnet ! apparently this 850 did 0-100 in 29 seconds ,which compared to the stock 850 with 0 to 60 in 29 is a big improvement .
only prob was i wanted detail of the carpets ,and the downton has rubber floor thingy ....bummer ..lol

regards
robert

Twin fillers... so that you can get the oil in as quickly as it leaks out.

In the 13's at last!.. Just
