I was actually really looking forward to a crash test of one hitting the other - I love those.

I must say those rims really suit the MINI. Is that a R53?

It looks like the mini is leaning into the BINI like a pitbull, and the BINI is trying to back out of the fight




(no BINI hate intended, they're cool, I agree, cool rims)

Clovus, yep R53 on 17" fifteen52 Tarmacs.
Wallie, m1100s,
Yep it's a 1964 850. 32k miles on the clock. Only non original additions are an AM/FM radio installed in the 80s and rear seatbelts at the same time.
It's seriously original and hasn't been driven in 15 years!
RHF suspension trumpet collapsed on the drive home (hence the stance!) and the brakes leave much to desire! A new (old) trumpet and a brake overhaul and it'll be smooth to go again.

The 15,000 asking price was far too eager; I picked it up for much less than this.

Cheers fellas!
It doesn't replace the Moke - I don't think anything ever will - but at least I can lock the scum out of this one.

Great picture , the most strinking thing to me is the wheel size .
