Another Newbie...

Hi all,
just wanted to formally say "hello".
Am a long time classic car buff, having owned several MG's, Fords and various VW campers (before campers were "Iconic").
Always wanted a Minor, my ideal image being a faded four door splitscreen, but anything faded would do.
Now looking forward to ownership, without fear, having read the restoration forum.
This is a great site, full of friendly people who don't mind giving advice when needed.
Many thanks!

George.

Hello and welcome!!

Be careful buying minors, before you know it yo have two or three - I currently have six that includes a nice faded green 4 door though not a splitscreen :D

Alas I am limited by lack of storage or garaging. Otherwise I'd give a home to every neglected Minor! :D

Covered storage is all important........ Good luck with your search for a suitable car.

An aircraft hanger would do it.

Thanks all for the warm welcome :)

I think it could easily end up that way :D
Would be nice to find a project sitting in a garage just waiting to be rejuvinated too.
Aircraft hangar idea may have drawbacks. Imagine trying to find your cup of tea.
