Mk1 Mini Drive.

[@andrewkingdon2000]

Its thats gearbox and the bouncy go-cart sensation that makes the mini so special. No need for a stereo, just wizz along listening to that lovely car.

[@matthewsands7170]

This is what a REAL mini is all about!!! Love the button start and the sliding windows! The sound is awesome too . Thanks for posting !

[@GregWallis]

In 1977 I took over my mum's 1964 Austin 850 Mini. I was a right little maniac and it's still the most fun car I've ever driven. This brought back many memories, so thanks for that.

[@Harrymoore63]

Greg Wallis it puts a smile on my face every time I drive it! Glad you enjoyed 😁

[@ronnieg6358]

Beautiful little car. Loved the floor starter button. Wish I still had one.

[@kevinhaney293]

Had one back in 1970 ( 850 with starter button on the floor ). Same here wish I had that car now. Drove that little car hard. Loved it !

[@leocolgan8678]

What a great sounding car, thrashing around my local country roads aswell!

[@Harrymoore63]

Thanks very much!

[@justanotherrandomperson1359]

That’s not thrashing come to Australia well show you thrashing (Paddock bashing/Bush Bashing) that is fun until you crash

[@waldenhouse]

I remember Dad getting his. We thought it was the "bees knees" of luxurious driving! Was a beautiful car, cherry red. CNW672C. (Yes, your driving is a bit ropey! Never mind thanks for sharing.)!

[@romario11star]

The MINI is a cute and fun car, isn't it? I am riding a MINI in Japan. I liked to see other people's MINI and visited.

[@geofo60]

Looking at the dash, gear stick, floor starter and colour (Farina Grey ?), reminds me of my first Mini, 1959 Austin Seven -676 AYU - bought it in 1967. It was damaged in the front, spent the summer fixing it, sold it to a mate. Never saw it again. I often wonder if it is still around. I owned several after, moved away to V8’s, came back to MINIS in the early 2000’s, driving a GP2 for fun & a Countryman as a daily. Thanks for sharing.

[@aaronforster5223]

I want a classic mini even more after watching this video 😩🚗💨

[@jigrodrigues]

The mini, the beetle, the 2cv, the 500, the 4L... cars that showed us that affordable and fun doesn't have to be and feel cheap

[@BobsterCars]

Nice Mini. Love them so basic like this👍🏻

[@SteveSmith-hv8or]

I have a 1965 mk1 that I’ll be driving in the summer it’s an 850 just like yours

[@zeab47]

I had a mk.1 Austin Cooper. It was a 1966 model Reg. JFD 360 D. blue wiIt a white roof it was 2 years old when i got it, i have owned many cars but that one is my all time favourite

[@nigefoxx]

Nice. Happened upon this video by chance; too me back about a decade- that's one of my favorite driving roads. Miss it, moved out to the USA! Plenty of good routes to take up there, left in Charterhouse and down to Shipham, left through Cheddar, left again and up the quarry road in Westbury. Nice view at the top, then in through to Priddy, across and onto the old Bath road down into Wells, round town and back up the A38 to Green Ore, left at the light, round and down the road to Compton Martin... Fun times. The Combe was more fun before they widened and flattened it though! Couldn't help but mutter "second gear" up the hill towards the observatory though...

[@geofbrit59]

Fun drive! I have an Mk.1 Austin 850 that I want to add a gauge cluster to. I like the way yours is set up. I've been to England twice and had a blast driving around the country side on the little roads.

[@ozrider5229]

Takes me back to 1977. :) Currently rebuilding a 64 850, looking forward to doing it all again.

[@Mrypants31]

Beautiful

[@johndrake2729]

Thrilling. It's like I'm in the car with you.

[@Jakekola]

00:21 the crash site :(

[@RobinTheMini]

is it? That's a famous point for Mini fans on the net

[@SteveSmith-hv8or]

Hi Harry I drive an Austin 850 1966 but I won’t drive it in the rain it’s to prone to rust. We will have to meet up for a convoy one day in the summer

[@steveduffy1800]

Just a quick one, not sure if it's a mistake or how you like it but the switch panel on the lower dash should be located behind ,not on the front. Nice car though 👍

[@jamiecollins6191]

Nice car what year is it, I've got a 1963 moris super deluxe 850.

[@wilsonlee5126]

Hope it can be fixed, such a great car. as long as you are OK that's all that matters

[@reidbook1989]

Is it a UK car? Just looks like one of the CKD Minis of the period with the colour and the clear indicator lens. TIA

[@gsdavies100]

Excellent. Very reminiscent of how I used to drive my Mk1. Standard brakes etc?

[@Harrymoore63]

+Gary Davies Hi Gary, thanks for the comment! As for the Brakes, I'm on superfins all around, so not quite standard but still on drums. The car itself is still the 850, however running on a slightly bigger carb, no air filter (I just like the noise too much) and rc40 exhaust system. Also set up on Kony shocks all round and A008 yoko's!

[@gsdavies100]

+Harry Moore Excellent! My Mk1 is staying on it's single leading shoes with a set of non spacered Minifins up the front. The 850 won't be going back in, a hotted up 1100 is going in it's place. Owned my 1961 since I was 19 (wrong side of 40 now..) and this is a great reminder of how I used to treat mine!

[@Harrymoore63]

+Gary Davies I've been toying with idea of dropping a larger block in for a while now, or developing the 850 into a little screamer. The issue is that I enjoy it so much I don't want to take it of the road for any work!

[@andyhillhouse9813]

How do put up with your steering wheel like that?

[@pulchrafan92]

Are the engine, gearbox and suspension in stock condition? =)

[@BobBroughton]

was that junction at the start the same one it crashed on? so sorry see such a beautiful mini end up like that, hope you get it fixed x

[@cameronrich3627]

My gramps wasn't kidding when he said one day I should sell the anglia and get a mini it feels like your going faster than you are

[@yvernet8988]

Yeah ! One like from France :) have you can repared your mini since the crash ? :/

[@danielscott8628]

Love it mate, can it do 80mph comfortably on a motorway or do you have to rev the valves out of the engine? Nice car mate

[@Harrymoore63]

Ahaha 80 is a push!

[@danielscott8628]

+Harry Moore does it feel fast though

[@Harrymoore63]

+Daniel Scott yeah man don't need any more!

[@danielscott8628]

+Harry Moore ah fair enough my uncle is restoring one and I thaught it would be slow but now I know. Cheers mate and good luck with bqr,

[@RenatoSalvatore]

[@danielscott8628]

Sorry about the crash mate, hope she gets fixed soon -- didn't you drive past the crash site at the start of the video? Good luck with insurance and rebuild mate

[@DutchDukeMan]

[@mattbond5074]

[@jimgamble2429]

[@joegibson5240]

[@Harrymoore63]

+Joe Gibson 850cc :)

[@Olivergoodchild2]

[@andy86i]

Its a really nasty habit leaving your hand on the gearstick.

[@οκαγκουρας-η5φ]

[@jaimeliebermann3365]

BMW in a real Mini? No way... this is the standard 850 cc
