Nice looking Mini there, best of luck with your op and best wishes for the recovery.

We had a Mini 1000 many years ago, 1977 BL vintage, was a hoot to drive, unfortunately ours was riddled with rust and blew an engine, my sister spent fortune on that car!, but she loved it! Sensibly she replaced it with a Ford Fiesta MK3 that lasted twice as long and a lot less rust!

Luckily all parts are there for it just need putting on but unless car sos turn up when I'm in hospital it won't see the road this year.It's a shame as it's had boat load of welding done as well as the new paint.luckily green and whites still going for the spares

Wish you all the best for your op and a positive outcome. The mini is a real one which is nice to see and once finished should be a really good car.
