The New Project !
Mini Special 1978
After walking past a mustard yellow mini with dark windows and a body kit whilst at school in Newcastle (UK) many years ago, my interest in mini's began to develop. Having restored the Austin healey Sprite mk 3 www.superspridget.blogspot.com I decided time for a new project ! Having 2 sons and not wanting a fight when they arrive at driving age I thought why not..
Recently I saw my chance on a local auction site for a mini special 1100 and decided to go for it.
After discussing a reasonable price I thought, my father in law and I went to collect the mini !
Got the trailer out and drove to the customer to collect what we had discussed.
Here are a few pictures.
Almost directly my boys took a liking to it..
All the chrome seems to be in pretty good condition,
apart from the dint in the rear bumper.
Old 1970's/80's Minilite GB wheels.
Shame about the front left wing.
Rust..
Nice front grill, dont know what the rubber bungs
are in the bonnet.
