Wouldn't mind having one of these available.

Of course we all know Minimatics are the rarest of all the marks

So it would be nice to collect some info on them
I have a vested interest in this info and am happy to organise a database....but if one already exists..?
Please let me know

No matic database exists that I know of.
If you are starting one, I can give details of 2 cars.

I have details of about 20 Matics.

The Matic isn't the rarest model, there are a couple of other models with a lot less cars made.

Member 68AUTO said the following in this thread viewtopic.php?f=2&t=81996

I'm also interested in the history of the Mini.Matic and have started putting together a website dedicated to the mini.matic (http://www.minimatic.com.au). A lot of my content isn't up there yet and I am planning on starting a register too. (I am watching the thread about the Cooper S register).

Ausmini is happy to host a register but someone will need to put their hand up to be the registrar.

Yes, was said with tongue firmly implanted in cheek, however I pity the brave soul who wants to start a Deluxe register :lol:

I noticed that, although I managed to see the archived version via the Wayback Machine.

Will have to wait for 68AUTO to see this thread. I'll leave a PM for him.

Hey guys,
I am pissed that my site is not resolving. I better fix that. Thanks.

I have a heap of information about the Mini.Matic... and have a sort of register too.
I need to get back to it.

Thanks Winabbey for the msg.
I haven't been on AusMini much.. but will look into the register again.

I would be happy to be the registrar for the Mini.Matics. Makes sense to make it hosted on this site.

On my site I will be having photos etc. and will track engines too.

Most people have. But that's ok. You still have a mini.matic shell.
I know a few people who have manuals and want the autos. It makes driving whilst eating McDonalds easier.

one benefit will be to get definitive body numbers and years, will help with changover dates and months ...all those good little details.
Would also be nice to see the colour combos produced......seems to be a lot of Snow White '68s

Don't worry too much about manualizing your car, go for it ! Just keeps making my matching numbers car all the more rare :lol:

I finally got www.minimatic.com.au back online. I had to re-register for an ABN.. oh well.

It is still the old site... maybe over xmas I can work on finishing the new one.
