"new" classic Mini owner joins the list

Howdy y'all!

I just found this forum, not sure how much I'll keep an eye on it as all my Minis are classic Mk Is.

My first venture into Minidom (or is it Minidum? is my '63 Austin Cooper 997. A kick to drive on the streets but definitely not a long distance travel ride.

Since then I've added 4 more Mk Is to the collection, including a vintage race prepped 1275S wannabe (genuine 1275S drivetrain in a '61 Morris Mk I shell).

That's a real kick to drive on the street... but definitely no need for a stereo as you need earplugs. :D


Cheers,

Jim

Thanks for the welcome. I've got a quick shot posted in my gallery. When I get to civilization (hi-speed access) I'll post more.


Cheers,

Jim

Welcome Jim. Sounds like you have the bug pretty bad.

Nah... I've managed to restrict the car parts to the spare bedroom, living room and kitchen. And the garage and barn of course

I did buy the vintage racer instead of carpet for the house. Guess it's a dead givaway.. I was single at the time.

Cheers,

I get yelled at when I leave parts in the house. Mine are restricted to the garage and shed. But I only have a 78 and an 03, so I probably have far fewer parts than you do.

Yes.

I also didn't mention any of my other projects

Anyone need a cylinder head casting for a Bugey Sprite? Need 6?
