Irish Mini Owners Club

looking to get a set of these but don't fancy getting them from japan as the site is not in english and doesn't look like they ship internationally, does any one know of any place that i can get the white faced centre gauges like the pic below http://www.stanmore.jp/eshopdo/refer/img/1/add_1_1243749...

@pn951 : yep that's the one. yea i noticed the jack points alright but couldn't pass up car for the price i got it for.

Picked him up today from cork and drove flawless all the way to limerick. 1979 old cork reg. Happy out and the g/f loved her presant. just a few bits a pieces that need tidying. I'm not gone on the colour but it may grow on my. future plans: number one priority as my G/f main car is to convert to di...

Hi all, i'm looking for a little help in getting a mini transported from Fermoy to limerick. Unfortunately i do not have a transporter, the car is driving, but how well i don't know and with lack of insurance on it not willing to take chance.

Hi all, in the process of purchasing a mini for the first time. i think i have found one and it's body wise mint. a detailed photo libary of what was restored to it and reciepts to prove the work was done and where it was done. so body wise it's perfect. my main concern is the engine, been told that...

Thanks for the info billy,
i have a daily driver no problem there proving that.

but correct me if i'm wrong but don't 1980 cars, even though some of them will be 30 years old still require an NCT.

@ Helen - pm replyed, thank you @ joe - many thanks for the help and advice.. Yea saftey is my main concern with the mini and rust and my G/F. i'd never hear the end of it if something happened or never forgive myself. that's why sometime i think an 1980 with NCT would be a good buy. it's got the be...
