I have a bunch of pictures of my 1993 Hawaiian blue Mayfair Ltd. ed. if you click on my gallery, it was modified retro style in Japan where it was sold new with factory A/C and automatic 4 speed and electric Webasto, changes include MK I grill, bonnet, tailights, boot lid & plate holder/lights, burl wood dash and trim bits, I drive it daily, even with the bad weather we've been getting,

Here's my Dad's Mini (2000 Rover 1.3i Sportspack) and my old MINI nose to nose. I now have a 2005 MCS.

classic Mini

Mine is a Clubman. People used to turn their nose up at them, and they have been scavanged for parts. Now when you go to a meet fewer than 10% of the Minis are Clubman's so I am keeping it.

JDewey,

Glad you'll keep it original!

Here's my prior car...


Now up in Maine....you actually grow an affinity for the clubman nose after a while.

My Traveller was a Clubman, here's how it started life:


I just decided a whole makeover was needed. Hence the metal flip front, color change (Vermillion) and interior from a 99 Prelude...

LOL, I am pretty sure that I have a picture of your Mini AND YOU, Phil. From May at the Dragon. This guy ran the SMM touring rally by himself and answered more questions than a lot of people with Navigators!


Looking>>>looking>>>> must be on my laptop at work. I swear he's got one too.
