Saw a mini in a paddock in THE BUSH NEAR ME, anD noticed the name on the letterbox. This place is in the middle of nowhere! Found there phone number and will be looking at it tonight. Looked around the 65-68 era. Sounds like he will be happy with a case of beer for it!!!!!Will tell you more when I get home, and hopefully have some photos within a week.

P.S It dosent rain much out here, so hopefully not too much rust!?

I just had a find like that last night with 2 late model minis an 82 and a 79 complete cars. kids learnt ot drive in them and parked them in a chicken shed 6 years ago and havent been touched since. have a bit of tim worm but most of the parts are good condition.
complete cars.
will be picking them up for a slab of beer.
These finds dont come around often at all.
