Has to be one of the best small cars ever made.

New colour is good.

Is this the second one you're working on MI5 or have you restored more?

Would I be right in saying that the wood is the first part to show signs of age?

nice one, my old man used to restore land rovers & morris minors

5th Minor Toby. 3 saloons and 2 Travellers. The wood on the Travellers is the worse part and the most expensive part but they fetch good money when restored properly so worth doing well.....

Ahh this brings back memories! We have had many cars but never restoration projects as such. My other half used to banger race in the 70's and boy, the cars he demolished back in the day was criminal when you think about it nowadays!!

Our best/worse buy (not for banger racing) was a Triumph Stag. We bought it second hand for £6000 in the 80's Had it a year and something 'major' went wrong with the engine. We couldnt afford to get it repaired so sold it to an enthusiast for peanuts. He restored it and now tours the country exhibiting it in Classic car competitions. Last we heard it was worth over £80,000!! Life sucks sometimes

That's just a small selection of 30 years of classic car ownership mate

Wow, that must be one hell of a nice Stag for 80K... I'm happy if I get 8K for one of mine

We saw it last year at Stoneleigh...jokingly offered to buy it back and that was the price he put on it (apart from the reg everything else is new)....and you should see the engine! I cant think for one minute the guy ever drives it anywhere!

Yep, I would imagine so, while he laughs himself stupid at the price he paid us for it
