Hi guys I want bullnose shell anyone knows where I can find it inbox me please

Hello everybody, my wife is crazy about this little car. Every time we pass one, she almost freaks out. Now I want to make her a surprise and give her one as a present. I am looking for a relatively new model, i.e. 1984 and younger, preferably green, blue or red. The vehicle must be registered in South Africa and all papers must be in order. Preferably also with air conditioning, but not mandatory. I have just moved to Cape Town and if the vehicle could be viewed in Western Cape, that would be great. Thanks for your recomandations and offers.

R600 for a pair.  Everything included.
I am based in East London.  I can send with budget courier for R180 or overnight for R280.



Whatsapp Ed on 0745876667 or PM me if interested

Hi, the front cones of my 1275 E are starting to collapse. I see that replacement cones can be very expensive. Where is the best place to buy them from? I assume I also need to get a cone compressor to do the replacement, where can I get one?

Hi Guys

This sunday 23 August 2020 MOCSA is doing a run to Kyalami Country Pub and Restaurant in Kyalami.

Time 10 am onwards.

Cheers

Howsit dudes! I have always loved minis and always wanted one. Recently a good opportunity came up to buy an existing project cheap. I followed my heart and did it! (No papers, deregistered)
I am not sure of the year model of the car and the engine numbers do not match.  

Any indicators of year model on the car? 

The disc has a 7 digit vin number, is this normal? 

How hard will it be to sort licensing out? (Register and use daily - legally) 

I am from Durban. Where/who is the place for me to get spares, bits and bobs?

Any advice is appreciated!

For all those that wondered if the steel coil spring conversion is worth it, it is not. I had the steel springs in our Mini. At first the ride seems  great but the suspension does not have enough travel to give any benefit. As you know steel springs have a linear compression rate whereas the rubber cones have a compound rate. So if on a perfectly smooth road the steel is nice, a very supple smooth ride, but it would hit the bump stops on even the smallest undulation. This was with the ride height set to standard. By the time you have springs stiff enough so it would not hit the bump-stops, it would be a very uncomfortable ride. So I replaced the steel springs with brand new rubber cones and wow, what a difference. It handles speed bumps with ease and the comfort is as good as you can get with a mini. So to those that consider this mod, don't do it!

Hi everyone, 

Wondering if there is a how-to guide for installing a tachometer (going from the 2 clock setup on a Clubman to the 3 clock setup on the GT/GTS). 

Thanks,
