Heres my other ride, this ones the daily driver, its amazingly reliable but thats probably cos I ain't modded it yet! Shes standard except for the wheels and paint. It'd been off the road for 10yrs untill last yr when I got round to bringing her back to life, and amazingly the floor is rock solid and unwelded! infact the only repair in a new drivers sill, everything else is original. Best bit is it only cost me £100 plus £200 for wheels, paint and MOT.

Tasty motor. Wished it wasn't dark last night so I could get a better nook at it.

Cheers, trust me it looks better at night, the photos are from before the paint started reacting!

Paint is only half the story though. I'd love it if it was brush painted! Having perfect paint is impossible anyway if you use the car everyday. My 2CV was restored in January and I've been a nervous wreck since! Stone chips have me in tears and I avoid car parks at all costs - well, failed last week and got back to my car just in time to watch some stupid woman open the door of her car straight into mine! No damage and she did say sorry...

I've often had a desire for a Super Minx....my dad's got a '63 Convertible but he won't let me get my greasy paws on it, and it's unfortunately some way down his 'to do' list...plus he knows I'll just spray it satin black and slam it in front with some big n little steelies and a Holbay.....
What are those wheels?? They look similar to Fiat Strada 105TC/130TC Abarth rims, but I'm sure they're older....

Cosmic Mk3 according to old ad's, never seen them in anything going back to the 60's but certainly around in early 70's. Can't recall seeing a set for real before - they look excellent on that!
