Hi there. I’m Daniel, I’ll be your new editor. Many thanks to those who have already extended a warm welcome, and thanks also to Paul Guinness for doing such a splendid job here over the last thirteen issues. All the names you associate with MiniWorld will continue to be involved, so this should all continue to feel like home for you. (And for those who recognise me from my former years at the helm of Mini Magazine – yes, I’m a safe pair of hands, and yes, MiniWorld will be remaining purely classic.) So, what do we have for you this month? Well, our cover star is something truly special – starting out as a Mk6 Mini Flame, it’s had an incredibly comprehensive rebuild to convert it into a Mk1-style…

National Mini Day returns On Sunday 9th June, the New Forest will once again ring to the sounds of Minis of all shapes and ages at the Mini Cooper Register’s ever-popular show. This year the club will be celebrating several milestones, including the 60th anniversary of the most famous of all Mini competition victories, the 1964 Monte Carlo Rally. Excitingly, the British Motor Museum will be bringing the legendary 33 EJB to the show to help celebrate; this is the first time the car will have appeared at the Mini Cooper Register’s Beaulieu event since 1984. In addition, it’s the 60th birthday of the 1275cc Mini Cooper S, as well as that most outré 1960s icon, the Mini Moke – and cars will be on show in the central display.…

The Italian Job Mile of Minis made a triumphant return to Oxford in late-April, with 150 classic and modern Minis journeying through the picturesque countryside. The event was not only a fantastic driving day for enthusiasts, but also raised much-needed funds for Buttle UK, a charity dedicated to helping families struggling with the cost-of-living crisis. Over the last 33 years, The Italian Job (www.italianjob.com) has raised over £3 million for children living in poverty; since 2018, their events have raised more than £300k for Buttle UK, with over £35k from the Mile of Mini event. See www.buttleUK.org for further information on the charity.…

New classic venue in Oxfordshire

Back in 2020 the late American car collector Peter Mullin was granted outline planning permission for a museum to be constructed on a site at Enstone Airfield near Chipping Norton. Full planning permission has now been granted; the original application was to include a substantial central building clad in stone and bronze, known as The Crescent, which would house a 200-car museum among other things. As amended, the scheme now includes 28 holiday lodges as well as a workshop building, a ‘car exercise road’ and a Show Lane building. More details can be found at www.themullinproject.co.uk…

Diversity and good vibes at the Bicester Scramble

Bicester Heritage is a brilliantly strange place. The increasingly popular Scramble events draw in a hugely diverse crowd of automotive enthusiasts, from all manner of scenes and eras and proclivities, to meet and socialise in the evocative and historic surroundings of the former RAF Bicester Aerodrome. For the second Scramble of the year, the organisers pulled out all the stops to ensure that this was the biggest and best one yet. Sure, the cars that are allowed into the inner sanctum of the historic brick buildings and access roads are still tightly curated, but the priority parking for attendees’ interesting cars has swollen into a massive car show in itself. There was a little bit of everything dotted around the place – you name it, it was there, from a…

Diversity and good vibes at the Bicester Scramble

As many of you will have discovered, our hobbies and interests when we’re young often extend into adulthood in some form or other. Not all those fifty-somethings you see riding around on shiny, expensive mountain bikes became addicted to all-terrain cycling during lockdown, we suspect a surprisingly large proportion will have been participating in a similar pastime four decades ago, only on a BMX. Same adrenaline rush, same grin factor, if there’s enjoyment to be had and the buzz is still there, there’s no reason for the fun to stop. Back when Andy Barrass was in his BMX-riding days, or rather when he rode his racer as though it was a BMX, his parents happened to own a Mini. This was a car that obviously had a huge effect on…

How often do you wish you’d got a second chance? Maybe you’d have revised a bit harder before that exam, left that night out a little earlier and not suffered the consequences the next morning, or taken a chance on that job that would have involved moving to another city. Or maybe, you’d follow in Rob Pike’s footsteps, re-acquiring a car you let go years ago, and giving yourself another chance to finally transform it into the vision you always had in your head. There can’t be many people who wouldn’t leap at a second chance like that. The Mini you’re looking at here was Rob’s first car. “I think I was 18 at the time, and I originally went to buy a Mk2 1968 Cooper. I did a deal…

Brooklands Mini Day

The sun shines on the righteous, so they say. And in between extensive bouts of biblical weather, Mini Day at Brooklands managed to not only remain dry, but also remarkably sunny. Freezing cold, sure, but you can’t have everything – we were still out in t-shirts because, hey, the sky was blue. As is always the case with Brooklands Mini Day, there was a huge and gloriously diverse turnout, and the number of cars on show really was remarkable. There was a lot of fresh stuff to enjoy – as ever, folks had been squirrelling themselves away in their garages, workshops and lock-ups over the winter, working hard on their projects, and this spirit of endeavour brought forth bountiful Mini-shaped treats. There were so many fresh builds to enjoy, and…

Brooklands Mini Day

Bleeding difficult I recently bought a Mini and have been carrying out a few jobs to get it ready for an MOT. I replaced the front discs and pads and rebuilt the rear brakes with new wheel cylinders, pipes, flexibles and linings. I am now having an impossible time trying to bleed the brakes, I don’t seem to be able to get any fluid to come through. The master cylinder is a Cooper S baked bean type with the larger tank. I have successfully bled braking systems on other cars before – am I missing something? Tom Freeman You are certainly not alone in having issues with this. Minis with a ‘baked bean can’ type master cylinders can be very difficult to bleed. The simple way is to use an…

When restoring a Mini, regardless of the amount of work required and whether or not the resto is ground-up or running, the end result will generally fall into one of three different categories. These are; a good useable car, a concours original car, or a modified car. The first and last categories can, and usually do, incorporate modifications and improvements. The changes are in virtually all cases upgrades, and they can be anything from period mods through to completely wild mods. One very straightforward improvement that can be done to Minis in all three groups is to fit a boot lid board to the inside of the boot lid. Such a board was fitted to Cooper models up until 1966 and should therefore be fitted to original spec restored Coopers.…

MINI - BY ROB GOLDING

The 65th anniversary of the launch of the Mini is soon to be upon us and that is a huge milestone. A milestone that also brings with it numerous other anniversaries that are connected with the Mini over the years. One such event was the launch of Rob Golding’s book Mini. Rob, a journalist, wrote the book telling the Mini story; several books had been written along these lines before but not telling 20 years’ worth of history and not in such a well-illustrated form. Since then, the book has been brought out in subsequent editions; Mini 30 years on, etc. I have very fond memories of the book and its publication, as at the time I worked for a major UK bookseller and was involved in marketing and publicity,…

A guide to Mini rustproofing

Minis, like virtually all cars of the 1950s-1990s, have a powerful tendency to rust. And rust is the greatest life limiting factor of cars of that period. The reasons why Minis rust are down to both design and the lack of protection originally applied by the manufacturer. Environment and maintenance play a big part too though, and a Mini that has had comprehensive protective rust treatment – and kept clean underneath as well as on top, will last many times longer than one that has been left alone. And the need for this vital treatment is applicable to original Minis, restored Minis and Heritage-shelled Minis. Treatment It is easy to think that Minis rust absolutely everywhere, but it is important to remember that in normal circumstances, this is not actually…

Lifelong Radford Mini fan Tony Knight recalls driving a Mk1 Radford-converted Cooper to the Beaulieu Mini Cooper Day in the early 1990s. It was finished in the Rolls-Royce colours of Sand over Sable. “A well-spoken friendly chap introduced himself and explained that he owned a similar Sand over Sable Radford Mk2 Cooper S,” recalls Tony. “He said that a previous owner told him that the original owner, who commissioned the Radford conversion, was senior management at Granada TV in Manchester.” It transpired that the Radford was awaiting a complete restoration. They talked for over an hour and » Tony asked him to call him if he ever wanted to sell it and handed over his phone number. “Sure enough, not long after, he called and a deal was done –…

SLANTED AND ENCHANTED

Pub car parks are where interesting things happen. Romance. Violence. Off-the-books business deals. Whether you’re in the market for a snog, a black eye or a bootleg DVD of Titanic, you’ll find it round the back of the boozer. For John Whitbread, there was something equally exciting going on in the car park of his local, and he wanted in on the action. A Mini, forlorn and seemingly unloved, sat on four flat tyres, yearning for a saviour. “This was back in 2007,” he explains. “While I was moving my other project Mini to my new home, I spotted this one outside the pub looking a little sorry for itself, and I popped in to enquire about it. The owner told me that it was meant to be for his…

Goodwood Members’ Meeting

The Members’ Meeting has been a spectacular highlight of the Goodwood calendar since 2014, serving to rekindle a name from the annals of history: the first 71 meetings took place in the 1950s and ’60s. Think of it as a Revival-esque event with a broader timescale; whereas the Revival focuses on the period 1948-66, the MM spans a greater timeline, allowing the inclusion of such thrilling genres as the turbocharged Formula One cars of the 1980s, Can-Am racers and much more besides – and all with smaller crowds so there’s more elbow room. The race card for the 81st Members’ Meeting (taking place on 13th-14th April) was pleasingly eclectic: there was the S.F. Edge Trophy for pre-1923 Edwardian specials, the Graham Hill Trophy for pre-’66 GT racers such as the…

MiniWorld staff and writers reporting on their month in, under and around Minis… Mk3 Riley Elf (STElf) History: CSMA tarmac rally car Spec: 1275cc twin 1¼-inch SU carbs Cooper S running gear and twin tanks You always learn from past projects but, tempting though it is, I don’t want to go overboard with STElf, as projects have taken too much time in the past so I don’t want to go down the modification and finessing route too much, past what he already is. I’ve raised the front of the Elf up and dropped the subframe out, as I wanted to paint it gloss black. Terry had kindly painted it matte black, to correct the bits I’d missed and some overspray, but I’m not a fan of the dull finish, so…

For as long as cars have existed, people have wanted to muck about with them. Ever since mankind first started nailing together automobiles as an alternative to horses, plucky young daredevils have been uprating parts and getting up to mischief. Early hot-rodders blew off steam in the wake of various wars and military tours by getting together to share their skills in the pursuit of going faster; NASCAR evolved from the criminal element’s enthusiasm for building super-fast sleepers for bootlegging purposes – and it’s not all battlefields and moonshine. It’s a basic, ingrained human behaviour. We’re compelled to upgrade our cars because, well, we just have to. There’s a whole weight of history behind this that we can happily blame for it all. This has always been a cultural trope…

Did glam perish with Marc Bolan when his Mini came off the road in Barnes in 1977? That epochal year, in which Elvis Presley also passed away (exactly a month before Bolan, in fact), saw a shift from the long tail of jangly sixties sunshine rock ‘n’ roll to the visceral snorting of punk; the Sex Pistols released their only studio album in late ’77, The Clash having burst onto the scene with their debut around six months earlier, and there were acerbic rumblings from the likes of X-Ray Spex, Buzzcocks, The Stranglers, The Damned, The Adverts, Stiff Little Fingers… the shift from shaman to shouting was unsubtle to say the least. Oh, but was there ever a vehicle more glam in concept than Bolan’s Mini? A 1275 GT in…
