Hello All,
Had a moment and thought i'd have another Mini project in my life, its been about 18 yrs since i've owned one and about 12000 miles away from the land of tin worm... I think this is my 6th mini but not the oldest, that title went to a '59 850 that leaked through the floor seam...
Please let me know what you think, know or can deduce about this project car - i'm interested in your thoughts!
Anyhow i saw this on eBay and thought why not...

"Hi, Up for sale is my morris mini. this would be a great little resto project. i have had the mini for about 10 years and always dreamed for a full restoration but sadly we never got there. the car was a daily driver up to 7 years ago when i started to work away, then it was parked up.
i believe the mini to be 1964 with wind up windows( according to the rego papers) , she has an 1100 cc motor with twin carbs(orginally would have been 850cc), she has twin fuel tanks, wooden dash, jelly bean mag wheels, extractors ,hi-lo adjustable height front suspension, has morris cooper badges front and rear.
The engine starts and runs ok , the brakes need to be looked at ( when recently moving the car it seemed there we no brakes, possibly needs adjusting or to be bled.) , there is some paint fading (discolouration) to the roof and small bit on bonnet, where the car was under a tarp for a little bit then the mini was moved into the shed, the drivers door handle as been broken off ( have seen them on ebay for about 40 bucks). there is a small dent to the passengers side rear by the taillight and there is a little bit of rust in the seams that join the front and rear panels and she needs tyres.
It wouldnt take much too get this old girl up and running again
the car in located in buronga nsw, just over the river from mildura vic
the vehicle was last registered in SA jan 07
if you would like further photos or information please ask.
buyer to pickup or organise own freight for vehicle
vehicle must be paid for before collection
i have the vehicle advertised elsewhere and can remove from ebay at any time."
So the question is what have i bought, answers on the back of a post card please!
Firstly the plate:
Secondly some as-is pictures;
Finally some random thoughts;
It aint blue (platinum) - how many colours are under there? Looks like faded orange over red...
Wind up windows - cant be original doors right?
Has an 1098 fitted with twin HS2's?
Question for the reader;
What shall i do with her?
Cheers
Will
