Don't be offended by the license plate - it was made to celebrate the heritage of the classic Mini and NOT to take anything away from the new MINI which I love just as much, if not more. This is my fourth Mini since 1985 and I will be getting my new MINI soon if all goes well. I did 95% of the restoration myself over the past few years and hate to report that I added up all the receipts last night while working on my taxes and I am soon to be single again if my spouse finds the total - I could have bought a fully loaded Cooper S! Oh well, the fun with these cars, to me at least, is in working on them. I like to take a worthless rustbucket and make it as good as new again. I get a lot of satisfaction in breathing life into old vehicles such as Minis and old Lambretta scooters. Anyway, here are some pictures. I hope you enjoy them and can't wait to add a new MINI to the list:

I love the plate!

nice ride

 

That is one sweeeeeet Mini! How could the plate be offensive? It is purely factual.
Those seats look weird in a brick. Supposed to be straight up-and-down, no side or lumbar supprt...
Are you interested in selling it?

 

That's a sweet mini right there. I love the plate also!

 

That is an *awesome* MINI. One of the reasons I love the new MINIs is that they stay so true to their heritage. Thus, the originals are even cooler, IMO. Mr. Anderson, you have a SWEET ride.

 

Bitchin ride , dude...love the dual tanks(real?) and the back-up light. I've thought about putting a spot on my rear just to get tailgaiters off my back.

 

Here’s one I used to rally with a buddy. It was a blueprinted 1327cc with a Garrett Turbo added where the radiator should have been. The radiator was moved to the boot, with electric fans cooling through a hole under the floor. It would do 130mph. I built it with my friend as part of my final year engineering project at university. I worked for Rover at the time, so I got the parts off the production line.

It ended its days with the sprayed white, with the roof cut off and a convertible hood from an MG midget.

 

Or if you fincy something a little more sedate you could go with the paddling pool for the kids :smile:

Rick,

Your Classic Mini is just beautiful! And I get a HUGE kick out of the license plate! Very clever and truthful. I've wanted a Lambretta for a very long time....terrific job you did restoring it!

Cheers!

Hey Rick-Anderson
That is one great looking Mini! As far as the plate BMW can kiss both our BUTTS! Looks like someone just drove that mini off the showroom floor. Thanks for sharing it with the NAM members. :smile:
