1995 Rover Mini Cooper SPI.

Owned for a year and half now. During the time it's been with me, it's had a new radiator, new relay module, new coil, rear brake pads and two back boxes and two sets of tyres, a recon'd boot and new floor panels. The original exhaust fell off on the way home from London to Brighton 2013, it made the journey home with the use of cable ties, a radio key and sh!t loads of electrical tape.. biggrin

In constant use - always in shows and runs all over the place, most recent being London to Brighton 2014 and will be at the Bromley Motor Pageant. Also seen at PHSE meets.

Photos are old, it now sits on wider white Minilites to fill the arches better.
Will also update with interior shots!

It's not perfect, slow and noisy on motorways, it'll beach itself on speed bumps and actually fall into some potholes, rust spots in the usual places ... But with it's faults, there's nothing quite like a classic Mini. We've had loads in the family, so it was only a matter of time when I got my own. It'll be staying for a long time yet.

Thank you! I think British Racing Green suits a Mini well, and a personal favourite colour of mine on any car.

Nice biggrin

Depreciation is no longer a word in your vocabulary either.
