Hey all
First off, what a great resource I've found within this community, wonderful.
I'd like to show everyone my new project - a 1976 Clubman Mini S. I could be totally wrong as I don't know much about Mini's yet!!

I've got some plans for this car and hope to document them (mainly for my records) and hope to learn a bunch from you guys.

My experience with mechanics - ive restored a 96 CBR 250rr, so I'm looking forward to this challenge.

Onto my thread suggestion - I would like to see a "Restoration" section where people could post progress updates and pics and questions of their builds. Unless im not seeing something that would suit that type of topic, I think it would be great!

Alright - thanks and I hope you all have a good day.

Looks like a good base for a project! Have a look for the “Members Mini Gallery” section if you’d like to keep a thread of your restoration

I should mention im in North Brisbane if (once this COVID is done) that if anyone is keen to come chat over the mini or fiddle with it, they're more than welcome.

I had one of these as well from new Clip! I miss that bike!

I also love the CBR250RR's what a lot of fun they were as an early bike
