Hi From Farmville Va

Looks like I got into the wrong Mini Forum!
I just bought a 1991 Mini Mayfair from the UK.
I was looking for the Classic Mini's and ended up in the BMW Mini Forum.
Can anyone help me here?

Not a large section on the forum for Classic Minis, but we do have this...

https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...-mini-talk-48/

And, you can sometimes find Classic parts in the classifieds. (marketplace)
Welcome to the forum anyway? We have members with Classic Minis too.

Beautiful car. Next time in the Farmville area I'll be sure to keep an eye out for it.

I bought this particular Mini because it is totally original from the factory LHD made for export to The Netherlands. The odometer has 17,664 km. Something tells me that is not the original km. that is only 10,952 miles.

I just got it on the road Friday with a clear Virginia title and passed the Va inspection on first try! I have the 998cc engine which runs pretty good. I named him Jmini aka Jiminy Cricket because he sounds like a cricket with a deep bass voice and he is quick on the go too!


Jmini and me

Great looking Mini. Welcome to the forum, while most members of the forum have the BMW based MINIs, there seem to be quite a few with classic Minis as well. I hope you stick around and contribute to the classic Mini section.

I, and I suspect many of my fellow newer MINI owners have a lot of respect for the classic version of our car. I hope to someday to own one.

Note to the Administrators: Perhaps the Classic section could be moved to be in line with the first to third generation forums and out of Mini's in general. I would think this would be a more appropriate location.
