1982 Austin Mini 998cc Automatic

This Mini has pedigree Rock'n'Roll history, it used to be owned by the one and only Tony Barber of Buzzcocks fame. I bought it a couple of years ago and gave it to Priya. It was driven for a while and upon the first breakdown was abandoned. After rotting for a year on her driveway, she finally decided that she didn't want it anymore, so it has returned to me.

   
 

After towing it home we cleaned the roof of shit, and of the the pond life that had been living in the depression that had been made when a vandal jumped on it. After the roof had been cleaned we set about removing the Union Jack, partly because it was pink but mainly because it was peeling off anyway. The first thing to do with this car is to re-establish it's registration with the DVLA as a misguided query has caused major problems just getting the car back on the road.

 

1985 Austin Mini Ritz 998cc

      

After giving away my first mini, James found me my Mini Ritz. Found somewhere in Watford it cost a mere £100. One of only 3725 ever made. Stage one kit, standard Austin alloys and shiny grille buttons.

My Mini was vandalised so much that I put it in the garage, and then some little toe-rag set fire to the garage! The Ritz is now buried under furniture whilst I attempt to resurrect the Automatic.

 

This is my Beetle, a 1973 1600cc beastie. I love this car!

 

SCHOOLBOY!!! this is my attempt to put a window sticker on my Beetle.
