    Hi all. I know a few of you follow me on instagram and will have seen I have been doing a full restore on a classic mini. Just wondering if theres any other owners on here? Or do you know any owners?

    I'm in need of a few parts that I'd like to see in person before buying. I've been stung a few times on fleabay recently, and I'd rather trap my manhood in a door than go to P&L minis up fernsker.

    Cheers.

    Twas a great design fault - the distibutor cap sitting just behind the front grill; oh the number of times the car broke down because water managed to get in there
