Hello! - Just bought 1981 Leyland Clubman 1275GT

Hi everybody!! My names Austin and I'm in love with classic Minis!

I'll keep this short. I just sold my 1975 Innocenti Mini Cooper 1300 because I wanted a Mini that I could modify and customize, but the Innocenti was too nice and too original to mess with. 2 weeks ago I sold it and just the other day I bought a new (to me) 1981 Leyland Clubman 1275GT. I'm sure Ill get more Minis down the line, but the Clubman will definitely be my lifelong Mini.

I live just outside of Charleston, so if anyone likes to get together and do drives and cruises and whatnot, Id be in. I'll be going to the College of Charleston this fall.

See you out there

P.S. This is just a copy of my first post in 1st Gear, just thought I'd throw it in here too
