The Minibox!

[Zara]

Just wanted to share the FRP's unfortunate replacement with you all
(Ive already had the negative comments about this and its had to be done as I just can't afford
to keep the FRP in realistic terms)

1991 Mini Cooper in Black
Got this little beaut at The National Mini Show and picked her up on Monday for a bargain price of
£1780

82k and has some service history
cooper interior
sportex exhaust -will be changing the front for Maniflow
Minilite wheels - will be getting refurbed soon
Drives like a dream and loving it already!


A few pics after a first quick wash:

And at Ashby Folville last night



Im already booked on a trackday at Donnigton with a few mates next month, its gonna save me a hell of alot of money in the long run and its a cool little car to have !!

Got a massive service getting done next couple of weeks, halogen headlamps (you think the pumas bad!!) and some clear rear tail lights for it too

Fatty will be back up for sale once ive got the mini sorted properly at £4400ono if anyone knows of an interested party.

Enjoy

It's not an FRP, but I am sure you will have a lot of fun.

Personally I'd get rid of that badging on the boot lid and rear quarters. To me (other opinions are just as valid) it looks awful - but then maybe I am comparing with the chrome badge on my 1960s Cooper that just said 'Mini-Cooper' in a straight line of letters.

I saw this on FB and I love it :lol: i do think you should go for the cream top as well, and maybe even a nice little touch would be the guiness harp logo on the wheels' centre caps hehe :thumbs:
