Absolutely loved Hottest Minis. Loved the restos. My favourite was a guy who had the best of both worlds. A restored Cooper S AND a Clubman GT. I've had the GT for a long time but my Cooper S shell needs a bit of work! The engine's done though!
I must have read those mags dozens of times and yes they are a very important part of Aussie Mini history. Now I just have to go and bloody find them again! I'm sure I left them in the........

I've been scanning like a demon. I think I am over scanning, but here it is! In all its ratty, 22 year old glory! The stain on the cover and the early pages would be turtle wax circa from 1994 when this mag lived in the boot of my car :)

I'm uploading it now, and will post it in its full glory tomorrow. Watch this space...


I also found my Mini Magics this evening :)

I still have all the Fast Fours and Rotaries issues somewhere for the Re-cooperation series .The part that has always amused me though is where he searched Australia for the 'Special' trim that was only used for the Cooper "S" , it must have had a lot of restorers in the day searching high and low for this very elusive trim :D .
Also in those days all the books and parts catalogues refer to the body prefix for the Mk2 as 'YKG2S4'
