Greetings from Cape Town

[abri]

I'm Abri. I got my first mini in 2005 but I wanted one long before that. I live in Cape Town and am an active member of the Cape Town Mini Owners' Club. My mini history is as follows, starting with the latest and going back to the first:

1967 Morris Cooper S 1275
1963 Morris 850 Standard
1967 Austin Cooper S 1275
1967 Austin Cooper S 1275
1975 Leyland Mini Deluxe 1098
1981 Leyland Clubman 1275 E
1965 Austin Mini 850
1974 Leyland Mini Deluxe 1098
1975 Leyland Mini Deluxe 1098

The most minis I've ever owned simultaneously was four, but it was too painful to let them sleep outside in the wet Cape Town winter, so I reduced it to three. Since about 2010 I've progressively become more interested in Mk1s.
