We are bringing home one of the two S's that my inlaws bought recently. Both are trailer jobs as they are stripped. One has been painted a HORRIBLE yellow colour and one is totally original.

The yellow one has no rust, and the bodywork is very decent. It has a weber box that is very well done.

We are going to ditch the yellow in favor of the original Lake Green / Snow White combo, as stated on the ID plate. It has had innocenti flares bolted on too....which HAVE to go :x

Except for the Weber box, this one will be brought back to 99.9% original. We even have 4 original S rims for it :D

Pics by this afternoon :wink:

Thanks Aaron for the loan of the trailer 8)

The 4 bloody S wheels alone are worth $400, if any good.... :shock: :lol:

they are good, just need a repaint 8)

I quite like the original S rims.

Kev, are you home today? I will drop in that K box if you like.

It's a bit dirty, but it's ok.

you can go find a beautifully kept original clubman to whack those innocenti flares on. seems to be all the rage atm. :roll:

p.s. good score - as much as we're all jealous, at least we know minis in your care are going to be well looked after.

Makka, my old man used to say "if you can't afford a Dodge, dodge a Ford." He was a Mopar man too (as I was). No Mopars around now so I drive a F-O-R-D... :lol:
