If anyone is looking for a covered car trailer my brother his selling his. He occasionally used it for classic Mini's.

Covered with opening lower front; offside opening flap and obviously rear opening. Collection Only.

Cabriolet failed MOT on one rear shock doing absolutely nothing!
Could of just changed one to get a Pass especially as RH side and easy to do but wanted to change cones as over 20 years old.
Dont think I've ever changed cones and not fitted HiLo's so all the parts ordered from Mini Spares.
Had to clean under arches and inside wheels whilst dismantled...its mandatory!
All went smoothly, did front shocks too, leaving front cones to the autumn, retested and sorted for another year.
Next outing will be on the 22nd August at the Brands Hatch Mini Festival. It's going to be a great event with close racing from Sevens/Miglias Mini 7 Racing Club and Historic Mini's in Swiftune Series https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1DXtPKTiSF/

Long overdue update.
With the Mini Seven sold some time ago the racing is no longer....focus is now on Mini and Automotive stuff.
Just Emma's Cabriolet on the road at the moment and MOT prep due.
Been involved with a couple of special Mini's over the last few months and now focusing on my Mk2 project that should of been finished already really.
Progress has been made but trying to make this by best yet in my own style.
Started tidying engine bay ready for fluids etc and haf been made aware alternator was looking odd and close to rad shroud.
Turns out the new alternator bracket was way out of line. Dug out old original one which of course fitted perfectly. So wire brushed, rust proofed painted and fitted.
Also painted the inlet manifold with high temperature paint. Love removing masking!
My usual mods to two manifold washers so they seat properly.
