Bought the Mini

After a long drive and a longer talk with the seller, I wrote the check and bought a 1961 Austin Mini Mk1. Decent shell, all the glass and a passable 848cc motor/trans.
Finally! After years of searching I found a Mini that was completely unrestored. The way I describe it "all the fun is still there for me". A blank canvas.
For the agreed upon price he will deliver it to my driveway in a couple of days. I still get ridiculously excited when a new one comes home.
Pics to follow after the adoption is complete

What fun. Miss mine.
The last thing I put on my '62 was a nice new set of "whiskers."
Look forward to the pics.
