My collection of precious metal

So this is my other project. A very rare Mini Lamm. 1 of 75 and currently bring rebuilt. Should be finished Summer 19 ;-)

Also my London Taxi Photobooth… another lump of British metal which struggles to survive since getting wet a few times :-(

These are just too cool!! Thanks for sharing.  
That Mini sure looks like it has some history to it, barn find?

So… the Mini was owned by a girl I knew in the late 90s. At the time it wasn't seen as anything special as Minis were everywhere.
She parked it outside her parents in 2003 when she bought a bigger car. It was bought by her Dad (big mini fan) so she didn't want to sell it. Just didn't have a plan for it.
Sadly her Dad died in 2004 after a long period of Ill health.
The car didn't move for 16 years and she asked me if I wanted it (also a big mini fan).
I gave her what she was offered in scrap (she didn't want more, just for the car to be brought back to life).
I have agreed to restore it and let her have another drive with her 2 boys, keen for them to know what car grandad liked). I have also given them some classic mini stuff so they know what they are.

Lots of rust and work required but it will be back on the road as planned ;-)

I got it started… so engine is good which was a concern. Only 32k miles. 2 owners from new  a gem!

Wow, nice collection. I'm a mini fan too. Had one as a first car, loved the silly little thing. Got hit by a passat and wrote off. I still have the boot lid though  

Can't wait to see the progress on the mini.
