Hi every one, my name is Kees and I am from the Netherlands.

My Mini is an Downton Sport40 lookalike Nr.6 from April 2000,
my age is 58 and bought my first Mini when I was 19.
Never had one day not an Mini so I think I have the virus.

Hope to "see" you on this forum and enjoy the Classic Mini hobby.
The Downton Mini conversions is what I like a lot. DOWNTON

Cheers for now,

Welcome to the gang. It's good to see you have to fast colour, red one's always go faster.
I'm not a big fan of the big wheel mini's but yours looks excellent. Oh, and you pass the qualifying time, fouty years of mini ownership.

Hi thanks, I had a lot of classic Mini's like : 1979 Mini Special, 1975 Innocenti Cooper 1300, 1974 Mini 1275GT,
2x 1980 Mini VAN, 1x 1976 Mini VAN, 1969 Morris Cooper 1000 Mk2, 1967 Morris Mini Mk1, 1975 Mini Jubilee.
Still have: 2000 Mini Mayfair (converted to Downton Sport40) and dayley driver 2005 tuned MINI Cooper Checkmate.

Great looking mini!

Hello Kees, good to see you on here too.

You didn't mention your fondness for steering wheels, you must have had quite a few in your time!
