Yup that is exactly what happens If you are in your mini you'll be in the retro parking area and you'll park up with other retro cars and then have a wander around the show enjoying the other retro parking and club cars... also taking in the awesome track action we have at this lovely venue and generally enjoying the super vibe we have at Retro Rides Gatherings Awesome stuff! Looking at the past years, it seems to be one the of best shows around. If I'm not driving, my dad said he would! Thanks for the info

Sorry if I'm being a bit of a tard, but I'm new to this show malarkey! Do we just park up our cars (in the show type area or in a car park?) then let others look round if and go look round the other nice retro rides.
I should be driving by then, and I'd love to come!

Hi RR, bit of an update on this. I went off the idea of a MK1 clone. I want to do something unique and different. I'm making it a bit Euro and J. Heres some mods I've done. I sticker bombed the front valance. I found an old train station sticker, so I put that round the towing eye I added. Also added the old type numberplates, which look alot better IMO. Trailing eBay one night, I came across the old Union 76 aerial balls, I think its pretty funky. I love Lego, so I started on a parcel shelf, needs to be finished really. I made a fuel bib at school, which adds to the J style I like. I made the GB Plate at school too. I've sanded a boot as well to rust it! Finally got a Desmo roof rack cheap locally, so that will go one in the near future. Next up is wheels, probablly 10x6 Wellers.

Thanks Guys!
For converting the windows, I'm aiming to buy some MK1/2 doors then transfer the window rail and other parts onto the MK3 doors. I definatl want to do the dash, but I was think of just getting MK2 rear lenses then welding MK1 conversion plates.

Yeh, as its a post 84 in it has 12" wheels and 8.4" discs on the front. I'm hoping to get the smaller discs and calipers and have Cooper S reversible rims on it.

Hi Retro Rides, This is my Mini. It's a 1991 Rover Mini Mayfair. It's in cracking condition and the only rust on it is a small bit under the near side front headlamp and two tiny bits on the rear valence. I'm only 16 so have got about a year until I can start driving, but the Mini will still be used by my parents and I'll learn to drive in it! I'll be going for a retro look, so 10" steelies, sliding windows, etc! I've just got to get my parents to let me! This is what the car was like when we bought it, bar the AA badge which I added. Hope you like it! And one with my dog,

Hiya got a better pic of the morris badge (near the middle) or how pitted is it, will the chrome clean up good? ta Gra Here you go There is some pitting on the chrome but the badge should clean up with a bit of elbow grease. A mint one on eBay is currently £36 Hi, Is this badge still available? Do you know what car it is from? A Morris Mini Minor? Thanks, Will
