We have had

visitors so far

Here is the first pic of Billy with his new Baby sister....

The day this was taken he had his brakes converted from single leading shoe to twin leading shoe. Before that he had been very reluctant to stop, so this made a tremendous difference to him. I still have his original brakes in case I ever decide to take him back to original 1960 spec, but for now I'd rather have him non-original but safe, rather than original and dented!

The week after he attended the MCM/RSP ML Tune-Up Day and met AC Dodd who took a look at his engine. As a result of this he visited ML again a couple of weeks later to have his carbs refurbished. Click on a pic to enlarge:
Here are a couple of pics, courtesy of Deano, of him at ML when we picked him up.


At the Cool Yule Show at Stoneleigh, I managed to find some Alexander gauges for him, just got to get them fitted now!
The next job was to get some new seat harnesses for him. He has Delaney Galley period harnesses. After a lot of looking I've now found some. Here are pics of the ones he's currently wearing:


Here are some pics of some of Billy's early Mini features - lights in rear companion bins, little feet on his seats, and parcel shelf lights. Badge showing he came from Henlys of Bristol.




Billy's first show with me - Brooklands 2003, just before he went for his restoration. With Baby on the first ever Bandits' club stand.

Pressies from eBay - an Alexander steering wheel cover and wicker baskets.
