Long, long story....

Left my mini in the care of my friend when heading overseas a few years ago. Came back June last year to find it in quite a state (knew it would be) but now I have a new job but no where to store my mini, can't find someone to restore it and no money to restore said beauty at present time. I felt even worse when I recently viewed the wedding video of a friend who married while I was out of the country, mainly because, my mini was used in the video by the groom and his crew as their little bucks celebration vehicle. They all pleaded with me to keep the mini.

I am now torn..... and unfortunately will probably have to get rid of it as it is rusting up a storm in a Haberfield driveway, which is not my driveway. Anyway, my friend gave me a very old message that was placed on the windscreen by Chris who was interested in it. Unfortunately this message written in Nov 05 was not conveyed to me until July 06.

Anyway, who are you Chris? Want a mini? Anyone want a mini in need of TLC

68 Morris Mini
burgundy with union jack on roof (union jack not done correctly by silly ex)
interior now a mess
cooper flares
I think it runs but not licensed (previously licensed in WA)
As far as I am aware, mechanically sound but probably in need of work

Now, I want to go away and cry...... :(

PM czerial on here as it sounds like something that Chris could have done ... But I agree with Mike , put some pics up as there would be a few on here that could be interested if you don't find Chris and Mike isn't interested .

Will attempt to take some pics but as I am in Nth Sydney, work in the City and the car is in Haberfield, it will be a logistic nightmare to organise quickly.

Photos to come asap
