Mini wasn't that simple a car to work on. Compared to say a Morris Minor.


I know I wrote my 1963 mini 850 off in 1970 and built it into another

good mechanic has saved me a fortune over the last 50 years......OMG the
memories....rubber suspension units requiring a compressor stupid engine
above the gearbox with idling gear bearings that used to go....rotten
rear subframe ..engine tie bar rubber problems etc etc ,,,,
