My Cousin's Mini collection.

Postby Derfinn » Mon Apr 16, 2012 1:56 pm

I was up in Northern Ireland yesterday spinning around Lough Nenagh.

On my way home, I popped into Blackrock, Co Louth to visit my Uncle and Cousin (only recently saw them, so they said whenever I was passing to pop in).

My cousin is married to a guy who has a lovely collection of Minis. He showed me the following:
1961 - Van (apparently it's the oldest Irish made van....it was just stunning).
1968 - Mk II Cooper
1975 Clubman Est (this was just gorgeous.....was like the 1970s on wheels, all orange paintwork and wood panelling! Was a 1lt automatic)
xxxx Clubman Est
xxxx Clubman GT - currently being restored, had a Suzuki Swift GTi engine.
1991 RSP Cooper. Loved the reg on this one 91D1275

Sounds like a very nice collection. Did you get any pictures?

Unfortunately no.
Camera and phone were both down in my car outside my uncle's house. But I must remember to take them with me next time I'm there. (Whenever that'll be, however!!!! Last time I was there, they were out in the country!)
