Look what I found!

It's only Minker 005!

Turns out Simon the last owner for 10 years has kept a low profile on purpose.
The car is one of his pride & joys.
Anyway I heard that he may sell it to the right person so we jumped in mine & headed down south!
Sure enough it's the real deal, a full 323 conversion by TT from new with the optional 3.14 diffs.
Also has the flocked dash, Minker pedals & steering wheel.
"It is as I bought it from Reading 10 years ago" says Simon, exactly the same.
The only bits not right I can see is the air filters are missing & it has an adjustable fuel regulator.

We disscussed a deal & I happy to say the car will be in my shed very soon

Looking forward to looking through the huge folder of history with the car in detail, always interesting.
The car is not perfect, machanically it seems all O.K but rust wise the sills have gone & the arches need some work too.
So it's a summer project car for me.
I could bodge it up & M.O.T it but the car deserves better, so I will find some time to cut all the rust out of it!


I like the fact the RS kit makes it look different to mine.
Thanks to Simon for letting it go cause he really didn't want too!
THIS MEANS THERE IS ONLY ONE LAST MINKER TO FIND TO COMPLETE THE PUZZLE!
Hmmm I wonder where it is?
