Hi
Had a pleasant chat today at the British Mini Club season opener at Stafford's Bingley hall with WelshMidas.
Thanks for passing on some useful info on the car, I know I will need lots of assistance.
I bought my Midas Gold convertible at the Mini World action day at the end of 2015. The car was fairly complete and a mixture of red and primer & in bits, I made an offer and still think it was a good deal. The car passed the Mot on Friday last week,had a coat of paint in the afternoon and returned home on the Saturday. Sunday morning saw us up at 6 and driving over to the show.
The DVLA detail says the car was last on the road in 92, every panel has Mangles written on it, is this the name of the guy who ordered the car?
The paint is a blow over just for the show, it'll get done correctly when the bugs have been sorted.
I have three classic mini and two French cars from Matra, so I'm used to the classic scene, but not the kit car scene.
I 'll try to get to a meeting, promise you won't laugh at my dodgy paintwork and tatty interior.
Regards.
