Hi, relocating to France in the next 12 months - currently searching in 2 areas - Loire and the Dordogne. I know of a classic car club in Le Mans for minis, and also, a specialist for classic mini repair - atelier Nicolas Pinon near Tours - hence my persuasion to move here.

Anyone know anything about Dordogne at all?

Kind regards,
Patricia

Try and make contact with a guy called 'Julio Wildeboer' who runs 'Car Lovers of Mayenne' Facebook site.
He has a lot to do with Mini tours I believe and has a couple himself.
Here's a link for you; https://www.facebook.com/groups/123599604836035/us...

Cheers Mr M.

I do indeed, though I have done all my own work on it since buying it, getting most of my parts from French mail order specialists such as Datch or The Little Car Shop.

There are a few clubs around the region, as the Mini's a proper iconic car here.
