When I get one half of the other shed cleared I will be doing a photographic record (easiest way for me) of each piece and then stacking them up properly so they can all be viewed. That won't include every nut and bolt but definitely anything big enough to take a photo of.

There are 40-50 wheels (standard and wide) for instance, most in sets and over half still have tyres on them. Gearboxes - heaps. Starter motors - I stacked up seven last weekend and that was just from one box. Mirrors - maybe around 30-40 but I didn't count them. Subframes maybe 6-8 but I'm not sure what was over on the other side. There are bonnets, doors, boot lids , seats, carpets, head linings, even driving light covers (about a dozen of them)

:shock: Wow, i think if i saw all that mini awesomeness i would have a siezure and pass out. :lol:
Good on you for being so level headed about all this. 8)

We only had the one moke that we bought frim Cameron Manson without an engine (that went into a Nota Fang)


Would you happen to know whos Nota Fang that motor went into. There is only a few left now, and we own one of them and are tracking down any information we can. Would you also happen to know what motor it was?



It went into his Nota Fang which he raced for a few years then sold. Have the vague idea it might have gone back to Lindsay Buckingham and then been was sold to someone else. However Cameron is a good famil friend so I will ask him for further details and let you know.

Brian Comer (Taree) had a fabulous one for sale last year - fully restored - but he wanted $25,000 for it and that didn't include the trailer. I was driving past his workshop and stopped to take some photos and have a chat to him about it.

Thanks Maybellene,
Lindsay Buckingham would he be related to Chris Buckingham who owns and runs NOTA now. I did see brians for sale, it look pretty good. Our Nota Fang was raced a long time ago. Thanks for that, if you could get some more details that would be greatly appreciated. But worry about it after you sought out the mini. As every one else has said you are doing a great thing and i wish you luck.

Cheers, steve

Damn - sorry - I meant to say Chris Buckingham. Bit of brain fade there.
