I don't know what Superminx is, but I came up with http://www.superminx.com/home-mainmenu- ... ?task=view where I ended up to http://www.mp3.com.au/Track.asp?id=4125 It is quite good, yes? no?

Anyway I still don't know what Superminxes are, but now I can search with music on :mrgreen:

edit: Oh yes, you must mean Hillman's super minx, silly me :lol:

Well its not 'mint', but it looks well enough.
And not too far away.
Classic car prices are quite down at the minute, so its the right time (and time of year) to snag something cheap to pass on when summer sunny fever hits.
Get all the fun of poking round it in the meantime too.

There should be large garage coming with each car we buy, that way keeping them would be so much easier :D

That oxford was a total honey! But considering the profit you did the right thing. Salty roads would have killed it sooner or later.

Yeah, not the most practical of daily runners, despite the cool factor. Lead replacement and many 'unexplained stops just becase it seems to want to stop for ten mins' grew a bit tiresome. Would love to have kept it as a second, but youre right, it would have rotted.
