It’s hoped that there will be samples of the calender available at the Ace Cafe Italian Job night at the beginning of September if anyone’s interested in a calender with a VERY good looking min in it!
One for Sunshine - this one is of Clare who belongs to a friend of mine and was taken just down the lane from Annie’s pic and will also be a ‘calender girl’
She was found in a barn and is 100% original inside and out - she’s even got her 1980s tyres still on! She’s been tucked away for the last few years and this was her first outing (on a trailer although we did get her running!)
Sunshine - yes Clare’s got a full brown interior and even has her original radio and single speaker pod (brown!) on the back ledge (Brown!? - What were they thinking!!!)
yup Freda, exact match to my little car. but i took the original stereo out last month. i did leave in the stereo pod on back shelf though and am keeping it there. once i get my rust sorted out and the paint job redone, we will have to take pictures of them together. that would be cool!!! i am keeping the same colour since i do like it, only difference will be the chrome bits i’m doing.
So nice to see that you like my other mini and all the pics of Annie and Clare were taken by me
Yes, Clare was found in a ‘barn’. Original in every way, never been painted or welded, been on a motorway once, 22k miles on clock by an old lady who was the buyer from new, it’s got everything it came from the factory with and nowt added. Even the tyres are the original ones from 1987 and they passed an MOT. The spare still has the sticker from the factory and the rear seat has been sat in once - by me The boot has never had anything in it other than the spare, jack bag and boot ‘carpet’.
Sunshine - there is another Silk Green Mayfair with brown velour interior around this way. It’s C400 HUR (Ben) and used to be identical to Clare but the owner had it reshelled but couldn’t source any of the original bits so it now has a full black leather interior - it’s in Milton Keynes.
