Not all mini's want to be trailer queens.

Maybe not a restoration but a nice tidy up including bashing the front apron back out and repainting all the dodgy bits.

and you really need some sort of round mirror on the driver's door.
It's not a 70's Kingswood :P

yeah it is good, i like minis with character that show their age well. but i can understand wanting to tidy it up, you have to make it last. and i've always thought if its factory fresh (from the 60's) it wont stand up to daily abuse (raining etc)
thats why i've gone to the extent on my 850 resto, its built to live outside in the rain,sit in the sun and be taken on dirt roads for some rally fun etc. no trailer for my mini :)
