I have been reading this forum pretty much since it started up, but have only recently registered, where has this scene been hiding!?
Anyway, I hope this counts as a Retro Ride:
1977 Mini 1000 in original Flamenco Red with Gp 2 arches, white door squares, 2x Super Oscars, 2x Hella Comet 500s, 1x lucas spotlight on the bootlid and Mk 2 rear lights
32,000 miles original paint, panels and rear subframe (just). Have all MoTs and service history back to '77 for it
Original stripe interior with the exception of 1 Cobra classic bucket, a tacho and a quickshift
1275 metro engine, LCB, stainless RC40, SU HIF 44 carb, 2 core radiator and a 7.5 gallon tank
Hi-Lo adjustable trumpets, adjustable tie bars
Converted to discs on the front, braided hoses all round, new brake and clutch master cylinders
Also own a '73 Clubman automatic in Harvest Gold (rotten tho' ) oh and 3 others in various states of repair.
Will post some pictures soon
Great to see such a wide range of cars and ideas
