Austin Morris Mini 1000 - VST 769V  -  This is the first Mini I owned.  When I bought the mini it was bought in January 1998 for £60.  When I bought the mini it was yellow with a brown vinyl roof!  This was soon changed as I didn't like the yellow colour at the time and couldn't decide on what colour to paint it.  So it was left in grey primer and the roof and bonnet were painted black.

The mini underwent a light restoration and was on the road in 2000.  It was used all year round until the end of 2002 when I had to take it off the road to start a major restoration - that I still haven't completed!

 

Rover Mini Equinox  -  I bought this mini in 2003, the complete front was replaced as there was rust appearing below the headlights that I didn't want as it was getting repainted.  The bodyshell got a good coating of wax-oil to help keep the rust away and then put into storage until 2007 when it finally got painted in its one-off colour.  The exterior bright work was all replaced with stainless steel new wheels, arches, Cooper S brakes, Hi-lows and dampers were also fitted.  It was on the road in time for the 2007 Charity Run that it completed with no trouble.

This mini is only used in the summer and is garaged when not in use.

Mini City E Automatic - I bought this mini last year as another project.  It has had 2 previous owners and a low mileage of 30,000.  It will hopefully be on the road in the summer if I ever get round to starting the project!
