Hello everyone,

I just came across this site and wanted to introduce myself. My name is Justin and I live in San Antonio, Texas.

I got my Classic Mini (1991) a couple months ago. I traded my 1980 MGB for it. It's in good shape but currently not running, the motor was out of it and the previous owner had set the 1275 back in it but its not bolted up and its missing a few bits.

Things like the alternator, starter and grille; I think it may also be missing part of the distributor.

Anyway, it came with quite a few various extra parts that I don't need so my goal is to sell and/or trade what I have and don't need for what I do need.

I also have a 1984 Trabant I play with, if you know what a Trabant is then I'm really impressed, if you don't, its a little East German car that no one saw until the Berlin Wall came down in 1989. I own the English speaking forums for those www.TrabantForums.com

I'm happy to have found this site, the sources for classic Mini owners seem to be scarce here in the US.

Here is my Mini.....





And.....Here is my Trabant.....

most places I go to for Mini help, also support MG .... tell me what you are looking for.

MiniMania has a forum .....

7ent.com is a good source for parts . . . outside of the 'all eu' world (I'd consider MOSS inside the all eu world)

 

Gorgeous Classic MINI! I don't think I would have gotten rid of the MG, however. I had one MGB and two MG Midgets and loved them all.

 

Thanks for the help and advice.

What I know I need so far is a starter, alternator, grille and possibly a distributor.

 

Thank you for that! It was bittersweet getting rid of it, but in almost 7 years I was never able to get it run right...It was always something else going wrong....It was time for a change. I loved my MG when it did run, but it was also a RB so it was never intended to be a car I kept forever.

 

Congrats, those look pretty cool. I've had several MGs over the years and one day I'll build an 80 MGB with a rover V8.

 

Hi..and welcome stunning mini.......enjoy......
