well sold the rs turbo as i was not 100% happy with it. seemed to have a bit of a chequered past. always wanted either a mk2 golf or 205 gti when i was a kid. came across this from a chap i used to work at ford with many years ago. he still worked for a ford dealership,he bought this off a girl about 5 years ago as a grey 1.3 gl. then painted it radiant red/panther black, uprated the brakes and suspension and stuck a 2.0 16v in it. and then lost interest. love the look of the cosworth (best colour) my mate at work has a white one you may of seen at four ashes. That explains why I aint seen your RS Turbo then, I was keeping a look out for it. When I first noticed the avtar pic I thought it was the one off the corner house by Tyretraders. As for the Cosworth I always wanted one. I have only been out in it once yet and have a list of jobs to do on it. Its a good job the mini is in bits else the Sierra would be having it. There is a few of them that go up the 4 ashes, common really aren't they.lol.

Looking forward to seeing another amazing Mini put together with your attention to detail! Thanks. I just hope I don't loose my mojo and sell it part finished. I was cutting the sill off Monday evening and have been up the eye infirmary everyday since so am already wondering what I am doing. A couple of years back I brought a 1981 3 owner beige mini city that had all its original panels inc A panels and I ended up doing a few mechanical jobs on it 12 months MOT and sold it. It would have made a good concours car. But this current shell is good and is a GT which won't hurt the value. You still got the Supercharged Clubman Est?

hi phil, looks like you've got your hands full... Hi Roger you swopped the RS Turbo for a Golf GTI then? As for having my hands full I would be bored if I had nothing cooking in the garage.

I had one of these as my first car that had been in the family from new. I brought a mini before I passed my test so never used the samba. I think mine was an LS and I scoured scrap yards for ages to find some headrests. Yours is positively luxurious with those filled in ones.

I remember the top gear one well. You seem to have made a cracking job of yours too. I bet that's a right giggle on track and it sounds sweet. It is great to see an underestimated car passing everything. Well done.

Now the plan when I sold the RS1600i was to not buy anything until the mini was painted but then I brought the 3dr. So I have put a divider in the garage to keep the mess out of the end where the 3dr is. When closed it is fairly good and I don't think there will be anything getting past it. So with that all done I could get on with a bit more cleaning off the paint. I have also cut the battery box off but need to get a couple of spotweld drills to finish that job off.

This looks ace. I have seen a light metalic blue one in Cannock wearing the same wheels but the colour of yours puts it infront.

Yes happy days. I think my mk1 (pale blue) had been sold by the time we did the Kent show I brought it in 1999 but forget when I sold it, my next one was a 1970 1275 which was white and was the car we did the IMM in and the Kent show I guess if it was the same year. Same here, self employed doing loads of hours but you got to pay the bills and play after the serious stuff is sorted. Hard to belive that is 7 years ago now though. What do you do now? Be good to see that pic without spaming your add.

My word you have had this some time dan. I remember going to that IMM in Norwich and I seem to remember you showing it at the hopfarm Kent too. I wish I still had my mk1 from my early days. Get some fresh pics and an MOT on it mate make a much easier sale.

Would it not be better to list it on ebay.co.uk instead of ebay.com surley he would get more interest on the english site?
