Hi, I have a 77 Clubman LS 998 which I've had since 1988. First incarnation was as a restored original car, then as a lightly modified-to-Cooper-spec car and now as a my-god-what-have-you-done modified car with aftermarket EFI...still using the 5-port iron-head. She's at the dyno. I'll keep you posted. :twisted:

Hi All,

My name is Simon Willis and I live in Phoenix Arizona, I'm currently rebuilding a 1968 Oz Cooper S. I say rebuilding rather than restoring as I have taken a few liberties with it, while trying to keep things as close to original as I could. Some pics here, hopefully it will be finsihed in the next few months!

Hey Simon...looking good bud...the dry desert air should mean that Mini will last at least another 40 years :!: :D

Hi, bought my first Mini (Clubman GT) 19 years ago, it was my first car. Bought another 6 months later (Cooper S).
Still own them both, not running at the moment.
But have definately got the bug to get them running again.

Hey everyone,

I'm Ben, 21 from Adelaide.

My first was a Blue 67? (cant quite rememba, few years ago now) Deluxe, sold it on to some guy who was gonna restore it. Apparently the floor was pretty badly repaired (backyard job) so thats why i got rid of it. Now drive a yellow 78 leyland S had i for just over 2 yrs and absolutely love it. Except for the cold mornings when she doesn't like to start!!

Cheers Ben
