My little 78 Mini, with a 998cc inside.



That picture shows the Mini, the trailer (left) which she was transported in, and the truck (in the background) that pulled it home.




I'm still undecided on what direction I want to go with this one. She needs a little bit of work--but is right now roadworthy. I'd like to slap a new engine in at some point--but that's a few years away at least.

My first post here
I have been lurking a bit. Long time classic mini owner(25 plus years) thinking of buying a MINI. Either way here are my classics.
1963 Austin Countryman

1967 Austin Cooper S
day15almostdone.jpg?t=1163981401

I have owned both cars since @ 1990. I just finished the S in 2005.
