We need photos of the Mini
And keep your eyes open for meets, we try to get up to the Ace cafe on German car and bike nights, I always post when we are going up

Thanks, is the wooden dash actually rare or was that sarcasm? I'm too new to the Z to be able to tell

Looking forward to an Ace meet, and as requested here are some pics of the Mini...

My eyes my eyes, that's a stunning looking Mini

Very nice, that is stunning

I love the classic Mini's, a car that everyone has had or been in.
There are a few of us on here with the rare wooden and we get a bit of ribbing from the jealous non woodies on here

We used to go to the Mods and Mini's night at the Ace when my son had his 1989 Mini. I will keep post on here when we go to the Ace and hopefully meet up

Thanks! They're a bit grubby, weather permitting they're getting a deep clean tomorrow

Johnson's Baby wipes, do the trick nicely.

- still, I can't believe it doesn't do it automatically?!

EDIT: Just found this online, works a treat!!

It sure is! Twin 1"1/2 carbs, bit over the top for a standard 1275, but I plan to bore it out to a 1340

Jumping straight in at the top of the tree

Liking the smoked graphite alloys, they go well against the black paintwork

Yeah I quite like them compared to the standard silver alloys.

Hi and welcome.
Lovely looking zed there and the Mini.

Is the leather colour on the dash anywhere else or just the dash ?

The brown bit? That's just on the dash, but the rest of the dash and tops of the doors are covered with black leather which has that colour brown as the stitching, so it comes together nicely IMO. Didn't like it in the pics, but looks nice in the flesh.
