I know, I've got one thats still not painted (past that deadline I don't know how many times) but it should be on the road by xmas.

Its a 73 Leyland Mini, magic wand style, white with contessa's (1 rostyle or something atm). Virtually complete with quite a few spares (front and read subframe and few bits and bobs). Picked it up for $1200. Hopefully it won't take too much to get it on the road, I may or may not keep it, but I'll get it up and running and go from there. I would love to keep a leyland shell, but the gf didn't even want me to have the car (doesn't know I got it yet :shock: )

Pics soon.

I said something similar myself, 2 1/2 years ago.

Remember, if the g/f say's its me or the car, the car wins. :lol:

My wife said I can have 1 of every type :D

I think she meant van, ute, etc...

I'm thinking Morris, Rover, Leyland,... :lol:
