Re: Whats the name of your Mini? And why?
Don't really name my cars. Just refer to them by the year and colour....... Although my 71 did get the name project 4 pimts for a while but that project has changed plans and the plan for the 71 has now been shifted to the van.

Re: Whats the name of your Mini? And why?
It's a 1980 mini van in Pagent blue. It had a 1275 in her but i took it out to put in my 93 cooper as the coop was auto and converting it to manual. Have a total different set up to go into the van and plan to change colour to old english white with black roof but not gonna be getting on with it until the repant on the 71 done.mad-mini wrote:gareth wrote:the van.
