British Mini - first timer

Hi all, this is my first mini, but I have owned several land rovers 88's, a Jag, two Jensen Healeys and an Austin Princess.

I just bought a '73 Mini, that is far from stock as a toy to show and play with, I may even get into Autocross if the mood hits right.

If I can help, I will, when I need help, I'll ask. Good Days to all.

John

Welcome to the group!!

I had a 63 Austin Mini Super Deluxe - they are a bunch of fun!!! They are also a bunch of work!!! Keep your tools and shop manuals handy

Also find a local club, they can help you with lots of support and info on local suppliers, mechanics, etc...

Good luck and welcome !!

test light and jumper leads

I have been a german car snob for the last decade... good to get back to the prince of darkness (Lucas). I am really not sure why I missed him, but I did. In the past, my british tool box was most jumper leads and a test light.

I'll attach a picture when I figure it out.
