I'm not sure how I missed this - great website I remember following your V8Nam trip on here at the time. I'd be surprised if there weren't any Minis doing the rally this year, but I do wonder whether the value of them going up has affected that? We'll see.
With the Micra, the company that I work for (bus company) are going to spray and spot it for us! We just need to do the sanding down, but we're pretty chuffed with that. I've just ordered a fitting kit for the roof rack, so that'll be made up next week as well
Next step, sump guard. Did people who have used them get off-the-shelf ones or fabricate one? I've tried looking for rally style ones but the cost is eye-watering
Good work guys, the Micra is looking awesome - very 'Mongol Rally'! I've never, ever said this about any car before, ever, but... it'd almost suit those headlight eyelashes people sometimes put on new beetles. Too far?

I think I've seen a team on Instagram that are taking a Mini this year - the cost must be pretty eyewatering though. I was lucky to have done the rally so long ago; I think the Mini I took cost about £400 and smashed out the trip with very little preparation... they're great little cars for such a journey, all charisma and hammer-fixableness.
