1985 Mayfair. apart from the wheels completely standard. just bought it off my dad. It was had new sills, wings, front end, subframe and been maintained religiously. I was resprayed 4 years ago, but needs a couple of touch ups. The plan is it keep it pretty standard for the time being, just tidy it up.







Ill get some better pics up once ive had chance to give it a good clean

Lokos tidy. Get some standard steels on it though. :)

thanks for all the comments guys. Until i can get round to reconditioning the minilight these will do.

The car had been running lumpy, so i changed the fuel filter and was was shocked to see that the fuel was a rust brown colour. Thinking back it had been stood for a while over Christmas, so i pulled the tank out lastnight and it was fucked. Thankfully i still had the original tank from my other mini. 10 minute job and the tank was changed and back up and running, i love the simplicity

I prefer the wellers to be honest, never been a massive fan of those minilites on later stuff, unless your planning a more classic look....

And on the 7th day........... God created turbochargers!
