We took the Mayfair to Brands Hatch this weekend for the Mini Festival. We go most years and it's always good, especially the awesome machines in the Fastest Mini in the World races. Great to actually take a Mini for a change too! 😁

For the last year I've been looking for another Mi

For the last year I've been looking for another Mini and the more I saw the more I began to think I was never going to find one that wasn't restored/bodged with dodgy welding, filler, silicone, underseal, or riveted plates covering rust. I seriously considered importing a Mini from Japan but the costs start to mount up and, given my past bad experience with one of the biggest UK importers personal import service, I wasn't sure I wanted to take the risk. Then finally this landed almost on my doorstep. A Mini Mayfair 1275cc SPI auto. This was ordered new in 1995 at Wilmoths Rover in Bexhill by a 67 year old lady who owned it until now when, at the age of 92, she decided to hang up her driving gloves and sell it to a used car dealer on the same street as the original Rover dealer. It has covered 33k miles and always been garaged meaning it has only minor rust in a few places and has never had any nasty rust 'repairs' or 'restoration' work. It also came with lots of history including the original sales invoice and letters from Wilmoths. I'm not entirely sure what my plans are for the little Mayfair but whatever I decide it's a great starting point and certainly worthy of the precious garage space! 😊😊😊

Made a few changes to the look of the little Mayfa

Made a few changes to the look of the little Mayfair just recently. The front end clearly had a sightly hard time in its previous life. So I thought I'd freshen it up with a new stainless bumper, headlamp rings and to complicate things a mk1 grille and indicators. The grille isn't a straight swap anyway but it's complicated even more when half the places the grille would mount to are missing to make room for an alternator, exhaust and radiator. I much prefer the mk1 face though so it had to be done.

Also got some wheels and arches on, more about them another time maybe. Oh and a cheeky number plate. Personalised plates aren't really my kinda thing but I deliberately got one that doesn't look particularly out of the ordinary and won't mean anything to most but if you know, you know. 😉

One of the photo's I took mid suspension refresh of the Elise. The light coming through the garage door windows looked kinda cool. 😎
