I guess the classic layout option has already been removed? I could only find the “new layout” and “October update”.
Advert banners on the bottom of the page in the new layout are somewhat distracting

Ive given the new layout as long as I can but I’m finding that I’m using the site less and less as threads no longer catch my interest and it seems harder to find the threads I’m actually interested in.
I don’t have anything bad to say about the layout as such and I’m sure I could like others get used to it one day however I think I prefer the old layout.
I’m having trouble finding the change of themes section as stated in the first post.. I don’t seem to be able to find this anywhere in the new layout.. what am I missing? Using an iPad if that makes any difference?

Been stood since 2014 by the look,if so it looks remarkably rust free from the pic.I think it may have a 1200 air cooled beetle engine from the gov.uk site,and another pic I’ve seen of rear with a monza 4 tip exhaust. Didn’t realise till I zoomed in it’s got the crew of millennium falcon onboard 😬 Haha brilliant, I completely missed that

The quality can always be improved but the dodgy styling is a blast from the past that I have fond memories of.. Yes I can even remember fitting cosworth illusion bodykits to escorts with household screws and grp paste lol
The rose tinted glasses will need some polishing but I think it could be something that many would actually enjoy seeing? Doesn’t matter if you like the styling or not or if it really isn’t your thing.. nostalgia is food for the soul. Some good giggles to be had

I think the time has come for me to brush off the tools and build my last ever project.. minis (classic mini) are my bag. Over the years we (myself and better half) have bought, built and restored some off the oddest creations we could imagine (non of the cars shown in this thread), and although I’m not a big fan of the mini scene anymore I still like the car scene in general. We could build from scratch but we’ve been there and done that and to be fair the IVA can suck the life and soul out of a build. So in this instance I’d like to find an old show banger from the hey days (built prior to 1998). This can be an absolute wreck and not really worth saving etc.. probably the rustier the better as there’s more a sense of achievement in saving something from the scrapper. Hopefully something like the vehicles shown below? We are happy to provide a finders fee etc Please do not reply to this thread directly with something for sale but instead if you have or know of something for sale can you please pm me directly to discuss. any sale adverts posted on this thread won’t get a reply. can you help? Thanks

I usually leave a like on your posts but I cannot like a post where your car got keyed. Ba**ard cowards!

A blind figure as it’s difficult to judge an engine this way but I’d say around £800-1000 due to the standing for four years (dry stored no rust in bores and turns easily) and around £1500 if it’s good and running with a guarantee.. more if it’s very low miles etc
