not a great picture

how do you display the picture not the link to photobucket
I have been on miniaddicts uk site for a while so im just trying to come to grips with this site

Just copy and paste the IMG code which is the bottom of the 4 tag windows .

Still can't see the manifold itself in that shot though , the air cleaners are the same type that are on my sports850 and the carb setup is the same so I'm curious to see if the manifold is the same too . It could have been fitted with one of the conversion kits at some stage in it's life , 1964 is too late to be a sports850 but the carbs could have come from one or a conversion kit , or could be just coincidence as the air cleaners were sold under a few different guises . Is there any stickers left on the back of them and if so what do they say ? This is mine though they were also availible with BMC special tuning and a couple of other business names on them .



This is the manifold on mine .

i will get some photos of the manifold
this is my worry a the moment hope to find a new boot lid or increase my welding skills about 200%

the engine has been changed still trying to trace history dads memory not as good as it used to be. anyway here is a pic of the manifold and carbs

Now that's a nice little package , most likely not from a sports850 but definitely looks like it should have been a kit with warnerford manifold and filters . I think the doc (drmini on here) mentioned before that one of the uni-filter/finer filter type companies made inserts for the warnerford air cleaners .

i just remember the old man swearing wilst setting it up when i was a kid. My turn now

Hi everyone, my name is Paul and this is my first post! Im currently in the UK but am coming out to the land down under in July.

Dont currently have a mini, my last mini was written off in September and due to uni I haven't had a chance to get another one, but hopefully ill find that dream car in July.

gday paul. hope you enjoy in out here. you will love the summer

Gday folks
My name is Jess and i am the proud owner of a 1976 Leyland Clubbie which is a bit of a bomb atm engine wise. but slowly going to be getting her fixed up.
I recently moved to Brissy from Southern Highlands in NSW. Loving it up here though - except the slightly crazy weather we've been having.
Don't know all that much about minis, this is my first one so thought this forum would be a great place to learn and hopefully contribute as i go along.

Welcome Jess , Have a look around the members gallery (and put some pic's of your mini in there too) and also the how to's and you'll learn your way around mini's pretty quickly . More importantly , if you want to know anything just ask and someone will help you out . My first mini was a 76 clubbie that was written off by the insurer in Goulburn in 1992 , has yours got rear panel damage by any chance ?

hopefully not

i actually didnt buy it till i moved up here so probably not the same vehicle.

Goulburn hey? i come from Tahmoor way (bit further north)

The kid i bought it off seemed to think improving its looks was more important than making sure it started! it has been recently upholstered and pretty red & white paint job and minilite mags ....but iffy head gasket and master clutch cylinder and engine mounts and the list goes on!

Ahh no worries , I also spent a few years around Tahmoor and Picton so know the area well .
