You would be the only active ausmini user in Darwin I would believe. There are a couple up there at least from past experience, but I think your chances are slim personally.

The wreckers in Stuart Park used to have a few bits and bobs now and then, but it was really really rare to find anything useful.

Take a look at the darwin BOM at the moment. It certainly is cleaning up the streets! With a wax-on-wax-off method by the looks of things....

They don't center themselves over a city much better than this...

I have a brother in Darwin but he is not into Minis.
I think he is into large amounts of rain in summer.

Zachary,

hope it does clean up the bloody streets lol

i was thinking i may be a bit optimistic to find one up here

how much would it cost to get one shipped from adelaide or somewhere else

It was some years ago, but maybe 800 to 1000 I think, although anything goes with those pirates up there.

There's a classic auto repairer in coconut grove. He was still there 12 months ago when I was up there. He might be a good guy to ask about local cars.

A lot of the local scene revolves around the old American behemoths people picked up from American servicemen at Pine Gap, they have car show once a year at the show grounds, although its a pretty dusty affair...

there is at least one ausmini member from Darwin - he's a good mate of mine and his name is Rob, but I can't remember his username!

there are a few minis up there

There was a lady in Katherine doing a car up a while back...but that's 300 klicks away..

..and that damn cyclone is still hovering over Berrimah!
I think it wants to move in.

There is a vehicle restoration group in an old hanger close to town (Parap?) and there was a not half bad Moke there...I also saw a Moke at the High school over near the coast
