Spotted this in Liffey Valley yesterday. Got chatting to Yvonne who owned it and turned out she was in the club. Had seen the mini a good few times and always wondered who's it was.

Lovely late Mini very tidy aswell

Image

Got a snap of the two of them while we were there. Even the two started to draw people over to ave a look.

Was over in Edinburgh two weeks ago and spotted a White Mayfair could'nt got to my camera in time to take a snap but while I was out there I took a spin out to Simon at The Miniworks, place had minis all over and was packed to the rafters with parts. He will ship parts over if anyone is looking for anything. You might have read about him with the supercharged pre production elf in Miniworld a few issues back. Or he did the cover car in the issue KMG's 1298gti was in.
