My first was Mum's Orange Mini 1000, 1975 , she got another in 1977 ,a white one. Drove it to Newcastle Uni in 1977, then I got my Capri 1.6..... done and dusted. I worked on old Minis @ Newcastle University to fix some , usually fixing girls cars, and bought and sold a few, little money, made more at Grey''s Casino in Newcastle ! I like this new avenue on your channel to pick out some great cars, for an in depth ! wish they were all Capris !!

My first car I owned was a Mini, as mentioned in the video. It certainly gave me some great memories. They give everyone great memories though, don't they? Glad you're enjoying this spin on our content mate. You know I'd be more than happy to feature a Capri or two! 😁

Hi I was watching one of your Capri videos for some help - my son Michael, living here in France has a 1985 2.0S. I came across, by chance this video featuring Will Greene’s Mini - I am Will’s dad!! 😊

I absolutely love reading these sorts of stories, simply because of the slim chances of them happening. This is amazing! Absolutely fantastic! 😀 I hope Michael got his Capri sorted BTW.

This was up at wortley wagyu the other weekend, must have been on a drive out with a few other lads in various motors. It's pretty cool tbf.

It's a fab car mate. I love the mods on it already and I know Will has some more great plans for it in the future too.

Thanks Dunk. I think it's safe to say that most "car" people have experienced the brilliance of the classic Mini, and they.probably say the same as you have. I certainly enjoyed then one I had too.
