My Mini K arrived today, Yipee!!

Here's a few photos

I'm hoping someone here knows this car,
I would really love to make contact with the person who restored it.
They've done a beutiful job, I'd love to know the cars history,
The previous owner from the Gold Coast had owned it for about 2 years but couldn't tell me anything about it's history

Cheers, John

What a sweet car, congrats on your pickup. I hope you really enjoy it.

What's the specs? All original? Love the colours? Excluding wheels of course..

Goulburn, I hope you don't plan on driving in winter, unless you have a rag or two lying around to wipe the windscreen. I see no heater! :shock: But then again it is from QLD, I've seen many minis without heaters up here!

Seriously, I remember this car from the MOCQ muster......very nice clean mini!
Is it going to be a daily, or a Sunday Show & Shine?

Cheers Shane

Yep, Goulburn and no heater = long johns and gloves

I understand the heater was an optional extra on the Mini K

Definitely actively looking for a heater for her

Very nice mini K! All Mini K's had a heater. This would have had an under dash 'clubman' heater with ducting from the grille to the hole in the firewall. Excellent heater but aircon would probably be more useful in Qld.
