Hi

[Liam mini 35]

Hi everyone,

I havent been on here for a while so thought i would introduce my self. I have recently bought a Checkmate Cooper s with the JCW engine upgrade. I bought this as i am currently restoring my 1994 Mini 35, which will be a 1293 turbo racer. Dont have many plans for this one but its always good to join forums and make new friends. Hopefully i will have the chance to meet some of you at the Bingley Hall show on the 29th. any way here are a couple of pics of my mini.

Very nice - I do like the Checkmate, and all the better for being a JCW.

Only thing I would say is that the rear Works badge is in the wrong place, but to each their own. Welcome to the forum.

Welcome! Post some pics of your restoration project too!

I will get some pictures up of the other mini as skon as i get to a proper computer, im on my mobile at the minute.

Where is the JCW badge supposed to be? I didnt put it on i think the factory/dealer did when it was bought.

Same place as the Cooper S badge, but on the opposite side.



I don't suppose it matters, really... I'm just being pedantic.
