 <------ Me
I just bought (well almost, deal accepted, need to pay) a ONE OWNER AND TOTALLY ORIGINAL Mini K. Nearly immaculate in condition, one owner from new (even has the original car dealer badge on the back, and owner handbook). Owned by a 80 something year old guy. I just went and knocked on the door and asked if he wanted to sell it. This will go on club plates for sure! I think I will name him 'pops'...after the old guy who owns it. 
Pics and more info when it's in my driveway. |

Rescued indeed. It has been unreg for 5 years. Tucked away under a carport. Got it for a great price too!! 
It's white, and has light blue trim. It's all there, but needs a battery and bottom rad hose before I can move it. I am going to drive it home! I will be from ear to ear.

Very nice! Too bad it still isn't on the original rego. My 70 van, a one owner, I bought it from the same address it was puchased to new in 1970, still is on the original rego.
No doubt it will need brakes, JAM.

Original Rego (and original plates) is a great thing to have on any car. IMHO it bumps the value up a fair bit, the older the car gets. Bummer this one is out of rego. I am leaving this K as is! It's not getting any mods or upgrades. One 'out of the box' Mini K....... thems the rules for club plated cars in NSW. |

and on behalf of Chris' Elmo, Lizzy and Vivian who have such an inexperienced sod for a dad (oh no, not you chris) Pops could make a good elder, we'd all be in the family |
