Does anyone have a running 1275 engine and box thy want to sell, I will take a complete car. The head gasket went in my flame on Thursday and rather than fix the 998 I’d rather fit a 1275 lump.

If you have one in London or the south east please email me or call on 07950 932223

Cheers

Paul

I thought so!

I got a set of discs and pads for £18, yes £18 they are probably made of old coke cans or something but I’ll see if it sorts out my vibrations when braking. Also got one of the cool art t-shirts with a green Griff 500 on it

Did you go along? Get anything good?

I did look out for the chimera but didn’t see it.

Got the metro last night, not sure if it will be any good but only paid £45 and its got the electronic ignition etc so worth it for that.

So if anyone wants Metro stuff let me know.

Clair, you car sounds nice but I don’t think it’s for me, try advertising on miniclassic.com or miniboard.com.

No just a 1.3 clubman, not really going to make much difference to me though, toying with the idea of changing the cam, I’ll see how it runs first!

I do have a couple of pairs of MG seats. Not sure on the condition though as they’ve been in my garage for some time.

I’ll have a look but I presume it will have 4 pots and vented discs, I would use them myself but seeing as I’ve just bought new discs and pads might as well stick to the standards for a while.
