Who has one?

Can you put up a pic and description of your rover mini.

Lucas

Is $12,000 a good price for a rover?

Depending on what sort of condition the car is in, what year model etc. it may quite possibly be a resonable price. The market value for the cars at the moment is quite high as there are no post 90's mini's coming into the country at the moment due to import rules.

Got a 1994 Spi Cooper.
Ozcooper compliance with aircon for these stinking hot days.
Had it for a month, paid $11k, but then spent over $2k getting it all fixed.

Now fixed
Broken top engine steady mount on firewall
New CV joints, wheel bearings, rebuilt brake cylinders,
couple of new heater hoses and thermostat housing, new tyres..... the list goes on.




Best thing about the car?
This sticker on the back windscreen.



Now runs like a dream and is my daily driver. Future plans, some extractors and a larger bore exhaust, thinking some DTM twin tips on a centre mount exhaust, but not sure yet I think I'd like to see a couple of other mini's running them to get an idea of what they might look like on my car.

He did explain it to be but i kinda forgot. From memory i think he cuts the neck down a bit the inserts a sleve inside of the existing neck which has the flap and screw fitting on it, i think this is either welded or glued in

Doc there are a few Rover fuel tanked cars down here....the beauty of them is that they incorporate the little narrow flap valves just inside the filler....NO leakage

Sounds good Mick, so where can I get these unleaded filler thingys? I want 2 before I paint it...

Dunno Rob (CPOCSM) has one in his Clubby...I think he bought it from Mini Spares in Adelaide...maybe Karcraft have them

I'm not sure whether they are inserts or built into the neck.....but people in the compliance business would know where to source them I suppose....
not much help

most late model cars have them. Check out the inside of a bombadoor fuel filler. you just need to remove the neck and then remove the flap and plate. then weld, or pop rivit it into the mini neck.

The chrome cover I have replaces the black plastic cap (from a magna! ) that hsa "unleaded fuel only" on the cap, hence no need for a sticker on the body.

The chrome cap cost me $20 from Brickworx, has about 4 turns on it to lock it down and works just like the plastic ones from new cars with ratchet (?) arrangement once its completely on, except this has a lock on it. I filled up today and after some spirited cornering, the cap and the unleaded fuel flap have kept things dry.
