My first!

A 1974 Layland Mini with a Cooper S engine my uncle and I rebuilt together, a carbie big enough to suck in a cat, disc brakes, big fat tyres, faired arches, monster stereo and a muffler big enough that everyone knew I was coming…

I miss that little beast, it was quicker off the line than most of mates V8s, wish I’d never sold it.

25yrs later, on my 8th car, and it’s still the one I think about the most. I drive a family friendly 3L diesel 4x4 now, which I also love, but that Mini will always be king.
