Just realising that since I bought the sports850 in November 1992 that I'll have owned it for 17 years sometime this month I was wondering how many have owned their mini for a long time . I know there are a few on here that bought theirs new or near new but who has actually owned their mini the longest (not gave it to a family member and got it back or sold it and bought it back but continuously owned one mini the longest) ?

16 years for my current 1970 `Minimatic'. I found it sitting in a garden, roof all jumped in, lots missing, it cost me a bottle of Chivas Regal.
About $5K later it was on the road with new acrylic paint, 1310S power, S box and discs.
It's had a couple of motor incarnations since... and a repaint in 2 pack. :wink:
