Anyone seen my mini?

#1 Post by Maisiebabe »

Well, she used to be mine, until I got posted overseas and had to sell her :( I am now back in Blighty and would be interested in getting her back if her current owner was interested.

As you can see, she was really pretty and the seats are quite distinctive. I saw her for sale on ebay a couple of years ago but was still abroad and couldn't buy her:( I'd be grateful for any info, is she still running?

Cheers

Thanks guys :)

Interesting that he says he did the brakes...I did them in 2005, but nice to see most of the other stuff that's been done.

Now on to DVLA to track down the owner....

Thanks again guys.
