Jim Tugman from near Dundee is one of our newer members and owns a 1989 Mini 30 which he bought for his daughter 7 years ago who when she was 17 and had just passed her driving test. She drove it to school for her last 4 months there. She was always the centre of attention especially on visits to petrol stations, where, in her words old men would spend 30 plus minutes talking about their previous minis. He put a rear sub frame on 4 years ago. Unfortunately it failed a MOT 2 years ago and has been stored ever since. It needs replacement sills, front floor panels, A panels and wings. Jim is teaching himself to weld with plenty of practice on sheet metal at the moment. He is grateful fro the warm welcome he has had from fellow club members and for all the advice he has received

It was a happy day when Gregor got his Cadillac come back from AutoSphere Body Repairs Edinburgh. Gregor recommends these guys as they were really professional. Car was in restoration for the last 35 years and it looks like Gregor is going to be the person who manages to finish it. Welding and respraying was at a cost of 10K but Gregor says it was worth it. He hopes to bring her to the first show in 2017. This car was registered to Diana Dors.
