Ok , my latest mini arrival is travelling up from Melbourne this weekend , leaving Melbourne Friday afternoonish (at this stage) and getting here late Saturday/early Sunday depending on stopovers etc . This is the mini , very generously donated by Geoff , 1970 mini K (thank's heaps Geoff) -



I have a spare matchbox cream coloured mini van to send to the first person who can post a photo of it in transit in this thread . Melbourne to Coffs Harbour is a long way so there are plenty of chances for people to get a photo , I believe it will be on a trailer behind a Falcon but know nothing else at this stage .

Gaf will probably drive up and down the motorway tomorrow looking for a photo opportunity, unless helen beats him to it

Helen's put us all to shame in just a few days.....She's bound to get it.

Now if it were going the other way, I'd drive up the hwy and meet it.

not sure if helen or I will spot it. Helen's over in the east
and i'm sure i'll be busy over the weekend

Stop Licking the Dog...I Don't Care Who Started It

Is it leaving from Portsea, Sorrento, Blairgowrie, Rye, Tootgarook, Rosebud, McRae or Dromana? If not I won't be seeing it

Well , no one spotted it and it's now in my yard


Thank's Geoff for the mini (with the little mini inside that Peters claimed) and thank's to Terry and Andrew for bringing it up here .

Great news Ian, enjoy it!

how many years do you have to get it on the road? 3? or a bit less?

looking forward to "spotting" it under it's own steam at some point - of course it's going to get it's own resto thread a la Mick isn't it?
