Welcome Sunny

Hi all, Melbournite here. I have had a hand in my fair share of rides (muscle, rotaries, VWs) although not for quite a few years since the kids came along. Looking to get into Minis most likely as a project car, it seems the most fun cars I have had are all the small ones, so I may as well go for the smallest!

Keeping my eye out

I'll be keen to see what you pick up first Electra. At least you have room for two minis where you once had room for one muscle car.

Welcome Electra...you will no doubt be pleased to know that some Minis have brakes made by Lockheed!

Hi, I am Mike and live in the East Brisbane area.
My first car back in 1977 was a Leyland Mini S. Then had a 1970 MK2 'S' Baltic Blue (ex-police) for 4 years before it was stolen and never recovered. Later had a Mk1 S (GTO green) with one of those horrible 'after market' sliding cloth sunroofs. Never worked properly, always leaked. Yes i was s....d to buy it!. That did the 80's for me. Later had another 1970 Mk 2 (Jet Red) before selling that one.
I have just purchased another 1970 Mk2 S (Red/White) which i reckon will 'see me out'!
Going down to the Qld Mini Muster this weekend for the first time and hopefully meet some on the forum members (and others) there !

Hi From Sweden! It’s been maybe 20 Classic Mini for me "down the road" since 1987! Today I own two Clubman 1275GT (-74 & -75) and one Mini Marcos GT -67! The -74 GT was transformed to round-nose when I bought it. The -67 Mini Marcos and the -74 GT, waiting for an renovation and is based in a barn for the moment. The -75 "Alan Mann" GT is my priority project now! Nice to be here!
My -75 GT project.

Take a rest in a barn "somewhere in Sweden"

Genuine Mini Marcos 1300GT 1 of 50 homologated built between Feb. -67 & Jan. -68

G'day Magnus,

You already have a nice collection, but another won't harm I suppose.

Welcome.

Mick

Välkommen Magnus,

Can you tell me if the "Alan Mann" GT was a UK Model?

Skål Mick

Many Mini owners doing a Works/Monte Carlo or Britax Cooper replica! I decided to do something different and take a look at Alan Mann LTD and there Ford Escort MK1 TC and there awesome Ford P38! I mixed the decal-attributes of those cars and made an Alan Mann Classic Mini! I’ll do the same back in 1992 with a Innocenti shell, and it result in the GT40/Gulf Mini!

My Gulf Mini I’ll built from scratch between Sep -92 & May -93! Today it’s Quaker State-stylish! I have some contact with the present owner!
