Thank you. I should probably say (before she sees this) I had a 65 deluxe with a manual 1275 in it. Was plum loco but looked more pink lol. Loved it to bits. Had to sell when building our house. was out of minis for about a year but my wife being the fellow land rover/mini fan she is said I can buy a mini if its an auto and so I found mine. She has claimed it as hers though so I've mostly been banished from driving it. But all the repair bills still go to me lol thats my old girl anyhow. she is known as nissy (after my wife bernice whos nickname is nissi lol) or nissy version 2 as my plum loco one was the first to be named that. it's got a 998 auto in it. Box was rebuilt in 2001. still shifts fine now. Motor is great. Slow but great. has usual oil leaks. As posted above I'm rebuilding a rover A+ 1275 auto for it so it atleast has more go. After that the wife shold be happy and I can get on to my manual mini projects. I'm planning on doing this up to be a semi italian job replica. just with the light bar atleast and I'll be happy. Maybe rose petals or mambas.nice to finally get on a board with autos all around.
