In 2010, my family and I couldn't afford to run two daily drivers and a classic Mini. So, we sold it around Oct/Nov/Dec 2010 to who I think was a chap from the West Midlands. We originally bought it from a tattoo artist in Birmingham and immediately fell in love with it. New to the world of classic cars, we took it to Cholmondeley 2010 Car Show as well as a few others. It's about the only car we ever regret getting rid of and so I wonder where it has ended up now.

After doing a quick reg check (D242 DLN), I can see it hasn't been MOT'd since 2014 and untaxed since 2017. I hope it's just stored away in someone's garage not scrapped of anything. I can't imagine a car with such a personality ever being scrapped unless it got absolutely totaled.

So, I'm looking to see if I can find it after 9 years. It's a multicolored Mini Mayfair with a few exhaust and cosmetic modifications.


I have a link to some more images of it:

If anyone has seen this car, knows a lead or has ever owned it, please, please let me know. I'd be happy to see it again.

To be honest its probably sitting in a garage or driveway rotting away. The cost of repair for these cars is often now prohibitive but you never know someone could be rebuilding at as we speak
