Hi

I have come up with an idea to start an organisation
That sets out to find mini's that haven’t been touched in
10 yrs plus.

Like barn finds and that kinda stuff and if the car is alright condition
either sell it (to raise funds for the running of tv ads/website or
to give to a charity) or give to one of the people part of it.

Those cars that are found to be of no use resorting strip it of
parts

anyone interested?

great idea mate

but minis that havnt been touched in 10 years wont be that common, maybe 5 years and havnt been restored is a better time and will be more common. just a suggestion but kudos to you for coming up with such a good idea

Well I have you know
that where I am there tends to be mini's in peoples yard untouched for
many years, alot of the time people just don’t want it and leave it there

I was driving along when I saw an 850 in someone’s yard
and this was on a holiday :lol:

I asked how much got told take it or it gets burnt

so yeah one 850 with a mini K engine

it was not in perfect condition but a bit of work goes along way :?
