Hi All,

My name is Andrew, Im from Sydney and have been stalking this forums for years now.
A few months ago, in August, i bought my first mini from one of your regulars here, Marcello.
Its a 1987 Austin Mini Mayfair.

Looking forward to being a bit more active on the Forums

Cheers,

Andrew

Hi my name is Ando I'm in geelong vic and i have a 1968 mini deluxe 998c that I'm currently pulling apart so i can do a full restoration on it

Hi All,

My name is Geoff, and though I've not been around the mini community for a while, I'm certainly not new to minis. I've owned a number of original Cooper S cars in the past, and was a member of the Mini Car Club NSW around the late 80's. There are a number of familiar names to me still floating about.

I currently own an original 1970 Mk2 Cooper S in need of some TLC, and am learning a lot from the shared knowledge on the ausmini.com forum, thank you.

Hi, I'm Nick. I've been out of the Mini scene for a few decades, used to work at Normanhust mini's in the early 90's, did my apprenticeship there.
I've had 15 mini's at last count, one Mk1 S, a 71 Clubman GT with a few K's and deluxe's in between.
I'm restoring the S now and need some advice, a lot has changed since I picked up a 1/2 spanner 20 years ago.
Nick

hi there I've had my 63 997 Cooper since 1984...
I did my apprenticeship on most BMC stuff.

Hi all,
I'm Pat from Brisbane.
I'm currently fixing up a '71 clubman.
I'm a 2nd year mature age apprentice mechanic and am loving every experience of working on my mini.
Even the annoying experiences!
I'm excited about this forum and look forward to learning from everyone's experiences and sharing my own

Hi Everyone, I'm new to this forum! I literally just became a mini owner as of this morning. I now own a red '62 mini 850 with a 1275 swapped in.

The journey has just begun for me! I'm looking forward to interacting with and learning from you all.

Pat. (another one from Brisbane)

Welcome patdrake,
Where in Brisbane are you from. Maybe we can help each other out with our builds!

Hi guys,

Glad you found the forum. I hope that you find it useful. Don't forget to put some pics of your cars up in the members mini gallery for others to see what you have!

Cheers, Nick

Hi guys. I am Rob. I live in Toowoomba QLD. I have just bought a 76 Clubman S. I think it's an S. The previous owner had it resprayed in glorious 2 PAC black but has totally de badged it. Its body number is 021D2S1M09. Am I right or wrong?
Any info greatly received. I can't seem to find that number on any registers.
Either way I bloody love it. There are no other cars that get close for fun.
Great to be part of the scene
Rob.

021D2S1M09 means it is a Leyland Mini and not a Leyland Mini S.

021 = Leyland Mini
D = compliance code = manual gearbox
2S = 2 door saloon
1 = trim level (= poverty model!)
M = 4 speed floor change manual gearbox
09 = 998 cc motor.

Hi Morris
Thanks for the info.
That clears that up. Although it has been changed from standard.
Thanks mate

Where would I find ID numbers like that On my 71? I can only find a compliance plate... Confusing when I'm trying to organise a roady
