Mini A171 LWL was my first car and I'm trying to track it down . It seems it has only done a few hundred miles a year each year . A friendly Mot man gave me a print out and it was motd at G P MOTs , Kiln lane , Milton keynes ?
Ive tried the local mini owners club but no dice there .
I just want to make contact with who owns it but its seems they may not use social media .
It was Cinnebar red [ orange red colour] , has 12" minilites and a mg metro engine and brakes , Rc40 exhaust .
Anyone know of a orangey red mini around near them ?

I guess there is a chance he will go to the same garage next year. So you sort of know where he'll be late May next year. You could also contact the garage and see if they recall him. He may use them for other work and be happy to pass your details on Shame the MOT is not about to run out, i would be tempted to stake-out the garage  |

I feel a bit funny about hassling a Garage to get a customers details , it sounds very suspicious if i was in there shoes but it may have to be what happens.
I cannot believe no one in that area knows of it ? Does not seem to be the club or anything but i expected someone to know the car from a area , you know seen it around , bombing past , at the petrol station etc .

With such low annual mileage it sounds as though it's seeing light use in fine weather & perhaps attending the odd car show? These may be worth a try, perhaps they know of it; Milton Keynes Classic Car Club |

Write a letter to the owner, put a stamp on the envelope and ask the garage to pop it in the post to him for you?

That sort of mileage suggests it only does sunny days during the show 'season'.
Keep an eye out at local shows and as above leave something at the garage. Guessing its Wolverton based using a garage on Kiln Farm

Will keep my eyes open. There is a body repair shop just around the corner, so it might not be a local car, could have come from there.

There was an orangey-red mini at the classic car show in Stony Stratford yesterday but it was a clubman.
Classic minis are ultra scarce here now.

Could you not drop a card in to the garage the month the not is due?
MOT testers are often enthusiasts, we'll all of mine are! Explain the situation and see if they will pass your details on. If you hear nothing you know they're not interested.
Annoyingly I see one of my old minis pretty much weekly.

I did send them a message on facebook , they have a nice page with regular posts so i hope they read it . It was mot'd again on the 19th , ive sent the guy who checked it out last year for me a message to see if it went to the same place .
I'm starting to think they may have been contacted or seen my messages on here or mini forum but are not interested . Its obviously a cherished car .
