We need a vid of this beastie in hard core action. Any chance please young sir?
What, being drove out of the garage onto a trailer? 
The only trailer that car has seen is when it was being built, hence being imobile. Since its been road legal its been driven everywhere. Just because cars are this well presented does not mean they are trailor queens.
In saying that I doubt you'll see any vids of it in this weather though (but then thats the same for a lot of the cars on this site)

Would have loved a Trailer it would have saved the mileage, Stone chips and hours of cleaning to make the car the condition it is following the couple of thousand miles that the car has done since being finished
Typical PH comment
Feel free to comment with Facts next time

What, being drove out of the garage onto a trailer? just for the record both dougiemc & notnormal do both DRIVE their concourse show cars, i've been shotgun for 99% of the summer in the mini, and i've been passenger in notnormal's Lotus Carlton to Le Mans and back, and we weren't hanging about.

Can I ask, if I wanted a Mini to be made rust proof, asin back to bare shell and sandblasted, assuming it's in average condition for a car 20+ years old, what kind of very rough ballpark figures are we talking?
Love the car, top job.
Depends where you take it and how bad it turns out to be after blastingLove the car, top job.
Going to be around 4k minimum if want it painted as well but could nearly double for a top job I would think at some places.

Dougie, you wouldn't happen to know my mate Rich by any chance, his mini is an orange 1398 running NOS and all sorts of magical things, I'll dig out a pic and post it at some point as I can't remember the details of it
