Considering selling my 1976 Clubman. The car has been in family since new. 32K miles. I rebuilt it in 2011 – 2012 and was resprayed in the original 1970’s colour (Harvest Gold) . Everything is original except for the doors, A-Panal’s, front bumper and rear valance Featured in the Irish vintage Scene...

Hi all, Does anybody have any experience in importing a vintige mini from the UK this year with Brexit. I’m looking at a 1980 project car which will need a lot of work. according to the revenue the car is worth €10000 and I would have to pay 23% VAT. €2300. They don’t seem to take into consideration...

Hi all

Does anybody know if there is an auto jumble this September?

Can anybody recommend a good product to seal the gutter before spraying

Sold it within 2 weeks of putting on donedeal. The guy who bought it had already bought a 1.8 to put into it and make it a full track day car.

I have just received notification of the renewal of my insurance and shocked at the increase. I have a multi car policy with AXA with 2 cars on it. Last year if was €239 and now it's €359. Over 50% increase. Can anybody give me suggestions of other insurances companies that do vintage multi policies...

Just go into donedeal under "motors" and search for "mini pickup"

I have never seen so many pickup's for sale on donedeal. 3 in total all at very different prices.

Excellent job.

Would anybody have an ecu (the one with 4 connector blocks on top) that I could test and if it fixes the proble...

Looking forward to it.

Check there is power on the battery side on the fuses and then the other side. Everything can look fine but still not work.

Get two pieces of wire and a bulb to make up a tester.

I got my car fully resprayed a couple of years ago in 2K, with some over the leftover I got Vinny Byrne , Kylemore Road, Dublin to put It into 2K spray cans. The only problem with the cans is that once the hardner is release into the paint it has to be used withing 1-2 days. The rest of the paint I ...

Try straffan storage

Give Martin Karr a call 089 4498342 He based in monasterboice a few miles north of Drogheda.

He was recommended to me by a club member and I was very happy with the work he did on my clubman.

HI,

No, I bought it built 1.5 years ago.

It's for the track and road. Great fun. Been watching your build, look excellent.

Finally installed 1.5Lt Swirl pot in my VTec Mini. Last year was a real pain at Mondello track days. After long left hand bends all the fuel would go to one side of the tank (Mini Pickup/Van fuel tank) so when I put my foot down on the exit there was a serious lack of power and had to splutter along...

Sold

Pete has said he will take them.

So it looks like it.
