Hi everyone, I would like to introduce myself with a short background of my mini. So here goes.

My dad bought an almost brand new secondhand 1984 (i think) 1275E in '95 for my mom. I'd like to say, like all female car owners but Id rather try stay on the safe side, the mini was'n taken care of especially on the interior. She was my mom's commuter for about 5 years untill we moved to the Northern cape (kathu). From the time when we moved to kathu in 2000 until now she hasnt done 1000km. The clock currently stand at 54k original kilometers. In 2006 my dad and I opened the engine and repaired broken rings. The motor is mechanically in tip top shape. Every now and then I'll give her a swing and with no trouble she'll start at first swing. Now, I've been thinking alot about this the past year or so to get her back on the road to full glory. The biggest problem and reason why she has been standing in the garage for more than 10 years is the effen brakes. We tried almost everything and replaced almost eveything but she never had proper brakes. (Well she has very good brakes but only in one wheel) Anyway, I joined this forum to gain some knowledge from you experts and hopefully get contacts when it comes to restoring the old girl.
I tried to post some pics but couldn't succeed.

Glad to be here and hope to hear from anyone!
Regards
Deon

68 Wolseley 1000

Over the weekend I got myself a 1968 Wolseley 1000.

It’s a second owner car and it has been stored all its life in a garage. It is a non-molested car with most of its original parts. It is number 362 built with all the matching numbers. Got its handbooks and original interior. It is an old car hence the name “Miss Daisy”.

I have forgotten how an old 1000cc drives but I must say the hydrolastic suspension is amazing.

It so smooth and enjoyable to drive. Definitely not a race car.
 
Here are so photos when I picked the car up.

Caught my eye chasing the Opel 200TS



A stop to refill the TS before we got home.



Had someone ask me if it was For Sale at the petrol station......and I said........Nope!!!!

I have a Bullose Mini Rolling Shell that I am selling.

I don’t have the means or the time to complete this project. It is a reluctant sale as the shell is absolutely clean and straight. 
The shell has been primed and is ready for paint. If you are building a bullnose this is the perfect shell to use. 
The rolling shell has no papers.

Asking R10 000 for this absolutely clean and straight Mini Shell.


If you are interested you can call me on (zero)721432559

As the subject says, I'm looking for Lucas dynamos for Mk1 minis. It must be the Lucas type and not the later Lectrolite. The Lucas ones are date stamped. I'm specifically looking for one from late 66 but any will do, particularly if they are in working order. If you have one or know of one that's available, please PM me or get in touch via the SA Mini whatsapp chatroom.

Cheers

Not really mini related, but can be useful for someone wanting to do a fuel injection conversion.

370cc injectors from a Nissan CA18DET motor.
Includes new pintle caps
Was removed from a working motor, but I would recommend a service/clean in any case.

R1000 for all 4
