	Not a great fan of the Maxi2, but this is a rare automatic with a low mileage of just over 31k. Has spent the last 24 years in a garage at the bottom of previous owner's garden and appeared on the Club website. image by keef, on Flickr, She doesn't become Historic (free road tax) till April 2022, so that gives me a few months to sort out running and a few issues with paint and rust. Quite a tight fit accessing the garage with the trailer in North London! image by keef, on Flickr Tidy interior backs up the indicated low mileage. IMG_20210524_162246 by keef, on Flickr

	Anyone have access to a 3D printer? Need 40 trim clips to hold waist moulding on.

	Smashing.... Mines 'Heather Mills spec'. Fitted an 80's Metro steering wheel the double of yours + I bought an old P6 chromed 'Automatic' boot badge, off Ebay £5 Like a bit of 'easy peasey', in traffic do I Only 993cc makes things interesting at the TLGP... But a 6k change point howls me away for the first 250yds Looking forward to your gentle/refresh back onto the roads. OVIMOR

	The problem is there are loads of different sizes and as the trim is a set size, smaller (Hillman?) clips won't fit.
