Thought I'd post a couple of pictures of my CS500, I'm the 2nd owner, I bought the car in 2009 on 20.5k miles, it's now on 21.5k
I bought it with the intention of keeping it in Mint condition with very little use, mad I know as it's great to drive, that's 9 years of ownership now and counting
It is that's for sure, I keep buying other cars to take my mind off it :lol:
Love it.. I have a couple of 1960s, mk1s stashed away...
not as awesome as your garage of full size corgi collection...
^ cheers
I had a GT Beetle in the garage until a couple of months ago (15 years stored) sold it to clear a space, it needed a resto so not that hard to part with
Very nice, got a few classic minis here to go with my f56 toohttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...622f355708.jpg

Very nice RT, chrome work looks lovely
Cheers, its a 1999 mpi but with mk1 styling and 10inch wheels. Finished its restoration in the summer, driven it about twice since then lol

what colour is it, Astro black with Silver roof, it looks a toy sitting next to a New Gen
You can't beat a Classic :cool:
My next door neighbour has a CS500....lovely wee thing.....Mr.King has just finished a refurb on it too :smilewinkgrin:
cheers Gordy, I noticed Ian had a 500, what colour is your neighbours?
iirc mine is Build number 453 / 500 so one of the 'last ones built'
or more accurately, the cars never came numbered, so the chassis number has been used as the build number, making mine the 47th last Mini Chassis produced
It's that very dark blue colour. Think his is a late build number as well. Don't see it much as he keeps it tucked away in the garage most of the time but he does take it for a blast every now and then in the summer :thumbs up: Ian gave it a quite extensive rebuild last year and it came back in mint condition :cool:Quote:

I see your into your classics tho....CC500, VW campervan and a Thundercat (I think) :yes nod:
Its just a gloss black with an old english white roof. Car was originally BRG, last owner had it resprayed in tartan red (professionally but badly) so i had it taken back to bare metal and sprayed black. These are listed as multicoloured on the V5 funnily enoughQuote:

Your neighbours 500 is Anthracite. I think James is considering selling it now.
Mine is Tahiti blue and did a massive 307 miles last year but is now tucked away with the Monaro and Focus RS until next summer.
Hi Ian, which model of Focus Rs do you have MK1, 2 or 3
I sold my dearly loved and cherished P1 Subaru a couple of years ago, I decided I wanted a change and couldn't resist the macho looks of the Mk2 FRs, and what a cracking car it is...IMO
couple of Pictures, one at home and the other taken at Knockhill Ford day last year on the FRSOC stand
:thud: he's not mentioned it. What a pity:frown:Quote:

Need to ask him how much he's looking for it :Whistle:
MK3 Nitrous Blue. 2 years old now and just clocked 1000 miles. I took it to the Ford day at Knockhill on the FRSOC stand in 2017. I couldn't make the 2018 day.

Not that I know of. I put new brakes on all round, inc callipers. Lack of use wont help though. That's what knackered up the last set of brakes on it.Quote:
