Hello all,
My husband works RACV on the weekends and we just wen to a break down and the lady there said oh we yhave a mini doyou want it??
So of course we said yes so we went down the paddock and had a look and it turns out it is a 1973 model!!

Hubby is going to put the gearbox in Junior and I'm going to drop the motor in beefa whil his is getting reconditioned.

Amazing what great things happen when you least expect it :D :D
