Nice to see it is still looking great, and I like your personal touches. Always cool to see my old cars. I recently came across a car I built that was featured in Hottest Minis about 15 years ago (white with burgundy roof 66BMC plates) The car still looks the same and is being used as a hill climb car.


Was that car in Mini Magic?

What are they like? They look great.
Comfy?
Can people still access the rear seat?


Yeah they are lovely and comfortable. Tilt forward for rear seat access too. Comes with matching rear seat cover and door cards, though gave the door cards to the dude I sold the previous seats to.

Actually it isnt the same blower. Very similar looking but not. For the life of me I cant recall the name of it but no doubt it will come to me as soon as I stop thinking about it. As for the white mini in the magazine. It was in a few mags. Had holes drilled across the rear valance, engine bay was almost empty as alll wiring etc was hidden. Is an old car now but still looks cool.

The white mini saw action at a few HRCC (Qld) events, Noosa Hill Climb, Mt Cotton etc. Was still a neat looking car.

I know the guy that owns it (white with burgundy roof). Talk to him reasonably regularly. Nice fellow but he also has an altered that he runs at the drags :)
