It was a line (customer admiriation) in a commercial for Chrysler cars, back in 1976 when I worked in NYK!

Nice car, Mr Chrysler!!!!!!

Thats an old Capetown reg.

Last time I checked it was about £1500 for a container, fully insured from Durban to Southampton.

Shell looks great, but please remember - a 76 shell needs a direct mounted 4 bolt front subframe, not the later one!

There is a guy selling 2 different types on The Mini Forum at the mom, one is similar to the Ebay offering. Not 100% convinced re the fitting arrangements. Towbars used be available from a UK manufacturer - Witter, I think, in the old days. If one of those could be located (or even a photo) would be...

[quote="The Marcos Graveyard"]Judging by the rainbows on the tarmac, there were a few oil leaks from the Minis. [/quote]


Minis with an oil leak? Never.

I bet its that old kit car yoke!

I have started a thread on Miniresource.com - General discussion, re another covers bulk buy.

Prices will be up later in the week, so just add you name to the list if interested.

Man, I do wish I had known about your situation. I have a good contact in the VRT office in Wicklow from when i lived there & had no difficulty whatever last year with a very special age related registration on one of my own cars. As far as getting a Motorsport logbook for you car - there is a M...

Cancelled, insufficient interest.

I have used Martin Tracey at Westward Engineering in Enfield a couple of times for my historic racer. Its a super setup & highly professional, Martin really knows his business. He is not however, by his own admission, a specialist in SU carbs but anyone I know who has been there was pleased with...

If I can make the numbers work, will book the circuit at the end of next week. Anyone interested, please post you...

Replacing the shocks is a DIY job, just over an hour will do it & moving the tank is easy. If you have a broken ball joint, I may have one & you can have it. Based in Ashford also, but away until Tuesday of next week.

[quote="DaveC"]Are all Mini owners invited along for a look?[/quote] Not really open to the public, its a private booking by Irish Racing Cars Ltd for a trackday event for paying Mini owners. My remark was specific to TMG who had said earlier that he might try to get there to give me a han...
