Brilliant! I used to drive my ‘89 Mini for the work commute - around 20 miles each way - it was quite scary just how large everything else on the road was (this was a few years back, and SUVs hadn’t become the dominant type of car then). In the rain it steamed up inside, and everyone wanted to overtake. But, it was fun to drive, and on quieter country roads it was a hoot. I’d never daily drive one again though! Congrats on getting the Mini going - I’m hoping that if you do restore it, you’ll keep it standard? Used to go to the Mini shows, and the number of cars in standard paint, wheels and trim was dwindling………resist the Minilites and bonnet stripes if you can!

Hey I used to daily drive minis so you get used to the size but I do get what you what mean around other vehicles. I don’t plan to ever change the look of the car I like it just how it is. But it does need mechanical work. Cheers

Hey thanks I am glad you like this one. This is what I love the car for its story it has to tell. I honestly wouldn’t enjoy it as much if it was shiny white..

Please set the tappets , it takes 5 mins using rule of nine , 12 thou for both , then it will not sound like a threshing machine . Owned over 30 minis none sounded like yours first thing i did when i bought them .

The tappets are set buddy like mentioned in a previous video the sound is the timing chain chattering it’s been getting worse for some time hence saying the engine does need a fair few jobs doing.
