We love messing about with old cars...sometimes we even fix them. For all things automotive; classic & retro motors, diy car repairs & a healthy dose of bodgery

There are many fine reasons to buy the double Christmas issue of @autocar which also contains a large dose of the adorable 'Italian Job'...

The Mini D.A.R.T doesn't half make a pretty #FrontEndFriday in my humble opinion! I love the curves n lines of this little G.T. Mini.

We've been reunited with this 1962 Fiesta Yellow Austin Cooper this week! You may recognise this shell, as it's one that we restored over two years ago. You can read more about the transformation (and see the pics) over on the blog here: blog.minisport.com/2018/02/1… #MiniSport
