Hi Guys, Just to say hello, We have a 1959 Mini Motel, We have had it for a year now, and I plan to start restoring it soon, Christened "Mini Me" as it will be pulled mostly by our 1954 Austin A30 Cabriolet "Mojo" we will also tow it behind "Doris" our 1966 Land Rover Dormobile.
Joanne & I our old vehicle nutters and our current fleet includes the above as well as "Gladys" a 1963 Austin J2 Paralanain (Motorcaravan), "Saffy" a 1971 Land Rover 88", "Alan" 1964 Morris J2 mini-bus, "Graham" 1963 Standard Vanguard Vignale and my 1949 Ferguson TEA20. SO plenty to keep me busy !
"Mini Me" is in a bit of a state as he had been half buried on a welsh hillside, all the steelwork has rotted away, and the sides and roof are no longer attached, the roof is also deformed, No cushions survive. The steelwork has all been re made in Stainless Steel, and it is hoped that I will get this all bolted on, I can then make a start on the repairs to the GRP sections before giving it a coat of paint.
Any one going to Goodwood Revival or The Land Rover show at Peterborough ? We will be at both with "Doris" the Dormobile, Come and say hello
