What colour is that? Mine has wrecked doors and a few other bits of fibreglass to repair so a respray is on the cards and I'm looking for the right shade of ridiculously bright green....

Austin Mini Minus kit car; 1969 car reshelled into the Minus fibreglass shell. 3" shorter than standard, no seams and a little lighter, an absolute hoot to drive:

On this one I disagree, I think they look perfect on it

I used to own that car and I agree that they look great. However, they're not period correct and they're slightly the wrong offset, so it was always my plan to change them too. One day. When I really had nothing better to spend the money on. Maybe.

One day. Yep, I'll have some of that too. Maybe.

Couple of months in and I'm still not a fan of the wheels, but they fit and are round, and are therefore perfect for the job right now, esp as I've just booked it in for the next round of work - steering pump and rack, brake lines, gearbox, and if there's any cash left (??) fix the sunroof. Ticking 'em off!

PomBstard, would I be correct in assuming that you bought it off Googlebot?

Had a look at your location, Surrey, as I saw a white Mondial today on the A217, Reigate hill.

Can't be many of these in white ?

I was hood down in the comedy Fiat, on the way to the dump.

Can't remember if I've put a pic of it in here.



Also on location at the Stockholm docks.

Here's one of my stag at Duxford.

Nice to see one that hasn't been upgraded to Mk2 specification.

Yeah, kept it standard, even running on two sets of points still!

You would. I miss it

Dividing opinion perhaps:

Yeah, that parking is shocking!

No need to be harsh, maybe it broke down pulling away from a petrol station?

That was definitely me driving up Reigate Hill the other day! I'm yet to see another white Mondial in the UK, not sure of numbers produced in white but suspect around 3-4% out of 6884 total (1980-93). Next time you pass me in your Barchetta give me a hoot! Cheers, Nigel

Hey, at least you can keep track of its progress on here, and have first dibs if he sells it.

My one car sold regret was a 172 Cup. It went to a 19 year old, who wrote it off. ahole.

[FIREBIRDC9]

Not sure if mine is classed as a classic yet (Maybe a Modern Classic)

20 Years old next year!

Also time to show my (lack of) age , i was only 5 when it was built!
