Just bought my second Mini - 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
-Austin

Congrats! I owned three classics: two race and one street. Won several championships with a Cooper S. The staff own many, many more. We have over 40 years with the street and track versions of the brand. In fact, we even won the vintage race at Indy this year! Please let us know the mods on your car and what you would like to do. Plus, you can't miss out on this coffee table quality Mini catalog for only $4.95. I give them as gifts to friends, I just don't tell them how little I paid:

Thanks, and congrats on the Indy win this year! I'll keep in touch about my car and what I'd like to do.

Here's a pic of it I love it!
