Matching minis

Hello,

This is my first time posting to this site.

I've had a classic mini for quite some time now and recently added a matching '06 to my collection. Just curious how many others out there have matching minis?

I hope I attached the pictures corrcetly- enjoy

Well, if you consider those to be matching, then I suppose our two "match" as well.

Lots of folks on the board have two or more MINIs. I'm not aware of too many folks that own a classic AND a newer generation MINI though. Very cool !

That's a very cool pair of Minis! It's good to see someone else whose new Mini is their "big" car.

Beautiful! Everytime I see pictures like yours I wish I hadn't sold my 1962 Austin Mini 850 in the early 70's. It would be great to have it next to my 2004 MCS.

Thanks for the nice comments. It took a while to 'piece' the classic back together. Most of the car has been replaced. It has a 1275 GTS in it that pushes about 80-85 hp. I've thought about dropping one of the mini mania superchargers in it, but she's pretty cool as is. She really turns heads when she's on the road. Maybe I'll try for the Dragon...

Nice. My classic isn't the same color as my MINI, and unless I can get some time free this weekend, probably won't make it to this AMVIV either.

I have a pair, but they don't exactly match. I was looking for a Blue Classic to match my MCS, but this one came by that was too good to pass up.

We have a pair of '02's. One is an MCS and the other an MC. Both are PS/B with sunroof. We often drive together and it looks a little odd and both park together on the driveway...the salt truck driver stopped in front of our driveway the other day to take a look and unfortunately forgot to turn of the sprayer. Nice big round circle of salt at the foot of the driveway.
We will post pictures when the weather gets better and the cars are finally cleaned after the winter.

Good to hear Agro Can't wait to see it. Ours got new brakes yesterday, and if all goes right, new exhaust next weekend.

I got a new exhaust from 7 Enterprises for $110. Once the car was on jack stands, it was pretty easy to install. However, it IS the cheapest one around, and they ship it cut in half. Works though. My car seems to either need a new battery or a new alternator. It's been sitting so long it could easily be either, but I'm thinking the battery is most likely.
Haven't had a chance to get it painted yet though. Hopefully it will be registered for AMVIV, if not, it will sit at Palace Station all weekend.
