Great looking car. Brings back happy memories! My first car was a 1976 Mini Clubman in what looks like a very similar colour. IIRC mine was Flamenco red or something like that.

[TCEvo]

That's very cool. Got a hankering for similar at the moment...

I'm normally totally indifferent about Minis, but oh my, I want a go of that!!

That looks well nice
One of the first few cars that i owned going back a while. Same colour as yours still had the awfull runflats as well. Great car to drive but it was a bit of a dog. Glad to get rid at the time, probably worth a heck of a lot more now though.

[jup]

that is very cool, looks like you have put a lot of work into it!

Nice looking car. Good to see you've stayed with 10" wheels!

Any engine mods in addition to the twin carbs?

Yeah! quite a few times, lol

nice car, nice photos

I never really liked the GT back when I had my 1976 mini 1000, but seeing one now it looks very retro cool.

It looks great, a real credit to you, although I think it looks much better with the correct white and yellow number plates. The Black and silver are not legal on that year of registration.

Cheers, the white & yellow refective plates are my current ones that replaced the nasty black plastic ones!

THB I bought the car as is so I cant really take the credit (unfortuantely)! However I do have plans to replace all worn & tied looking parts (keeping it totaly original of course)& get to some shows & runs!

[Bomber Denton]

That is gorgeous.

[Altrezia]

Stunning, totally stunning.

Wish mine was as clean.
