My pleasure. It was great to see so many Mini's putting on a great show for us spectators 👌. - Scott

Indeed it is. Possibly only 3 out of 25 remain in the world 😃. - Scott

There were 25 made, possibly only 3 remain. The rest were crushed according to the Dunsfold Collection. - Scott

They were maestro van lights before discovery invented.

No so much a concept car, more of a test car. They were testing out the Freelander 1 drivetrain. But to hide it, they put a Maestro bodyshell over the top 😃. - Scott

All credit to Brian Bashall for starting it and Philip Bashall, Richard Beddall, Andrew Munden, and Gary Pusey for keeping it running and adding to the collection to this day. If you go to www.dunsfoldcollection.co.uk/ you can buy a ticket to their next open day when they go on sale 😃. - Scott

100% agree 👌. - Scott

Hi Jabber 👋 The problem I have is that when I say it like My-stro, with my voice/accent, it just comes across as massively pretentious 😂. It's a bit like me switching from saying Barf like I normally would to saying Bath 😁. So I just went for what's comfortable and normal for me even if it's not 100% correct 😃. - Scott

It's great that the Dunsfold Collection has saved this one from being scrapped 😀. - Scott

But would people have bought a 4x4 van. As a company vehicle it was almost like having a car when it was a car derived van. It's a bit more like pick up truck with a truckman top built in at this point. And it's not hugely practical. I would absolutely love one of these though.

@@chrishart8548 This would've made for a great little plumbing, sparkies or paint and decorators van that would've gone anywhere! 😂 - Scott

You're welcome 👍😀 - Scott

Keen eyes to spot those small details 🔎😁. - Scott

The fact it's LHD (despite the Uk plates) Is a rather strange thing too.

@@ParallelSyntax With some of the Freelander's they were sent to hot countries to trail them in the hotter conditions. Maybe they set this one up for that 🤔😃. - Scott

Alana and I were just visitors to the open day that they had at the collection 😁. Massive apologies for getting the pronunciation wrong. This might surprise you, but I actually do know that it's My-stro as you say. The problem I have is that when I say it like that with my voice/accent, it just comes across as massively pretentious 😂. It's a bit like me switching from saying Barf like I normally would to saying Bath 😁. So I just went for what's comfortable and normal for me even if it's not 100% correct 😃. - Scott

But did you know that it was the makings of a Freelander 1 under the Maestro clothes or did you think that it was a slightly odd looking Maestro van? 😁 - Scott

@@ExtraScottandAlana I knew what it was... News of the new "Land Rover" was in all the magazines at the time.. Including pictures..... I also saw two mules for the P38 Sadly before the time of camera phones

@@rustandoil Ah right I see. 😃 I didn't know if this was on the roads before any news had been released 😁. - Scott

The roll cage might get a little in the way 😁. But that aside 😄, it does indeed have the makings of a great 4 wheel drive, car camper. - Scott

@rickykent4543 That is 100% true but equally, as petrol heads, it's such a shame to have such a nice car slowly decaing away sat on the drive. It's a tough one to really know what to do. 😀 - Scott

@rickykent4543 Hahahahaha you are so correct. 😂 Although on the flip side, it's strange how quickly the Mini can stop compared to the Freelander 2. 😄 - Scott

@@ExtraScottandAlana absolutely, freelander is a boat compared to the mini, I have one of those as well.

Close, Renault Premium...Although there was nothing Premium about it. 😂 - Scott

@@ExtraScottandAlana Lmaoo yea the Premium is definitely far from that. I love the Magnum though.

@@SebsTruckStop I've always wanted to drive a Magnum but never had the chance. 😀 - Scott

Thanks AlsoCheezik 👍😀 - Scott

If we were to do this again, then 100% I'd have Torque running... but... it's looking highly likely that the Mini will be sold at some point. Ever since we got the Freelander 2, the Mini doesn't get used half as much as is should and is more of an ornament than a car. 😀 - Scott

Thanks Pab for that suggestion. We shall give it a try next time. 👍😀 - Scott

One person's mess is another person's organised. 😄 - Scott

😅 - Scott

WTF = Wow That Fryup? 😉😁 - Scott

Ok, hands up, I admit it's not actually a full English by the letter of English fry up law. But I'm not sure how well "Scott's Birthday Full English But Without The Black Pudding, Bubble And Squeak, Fried Bread but with added Hash Browns Breakfast And Birthday Cake" would work as a title on RUclips. 🤔😁 - Scott

It tasted just as amazing. 👌😁 - Scott

Thanks alot Gem. 👍🏻😀 - Scott

Hi Mark 👋. In a perfect world, I'd love one. 😁 But we generally don't make enough washing up to warrant one as they only really become cost effective when they are mostly full. Although the dogs have offered their services to be full-time dishwashers and they have promised to keep the plates squeaky clean. But to this day, we have turned down their offer. 😂 - Scott

@@ExtraScottandAlana I live alone ,I start to fill it Monday and I run it Sundays,it’s FULL size and Everything goes in it and I mean Everything!!!!! Sink never used 🙄

@squirrel6158 Horses for courses comes to mind. 😀 To me, it would make much more sense to wash up the few bits you use each day. But each to their own. 😀 - Scott

Dishwashers are for the lazy! Save on your electricty bill and do it yourself!

@Kokeshiflower Hahaha, I couldn't have put it better myself. 😄 - Scott

Hi Alan and Carol 👋. We like to have the items we eat regularly out of the cupboards. Then the stuff like tinned items, spices, gravies, pasta and the likes can be all hidden away in the cupboards. 😁 To some, it may look cluttered and untidy. But we prefer it that way than worktops void of anything looking like you could do surgery on them. 😁 - Scott

I made sure to have a diet coke with it. 😉😄 - Scott

Ah, some you win and some you don't 😊. Those R50's do look alot of fun to race around. I've owned a R50 in the past and it was fun to drive on the roads. We have taken my partners R53 on a trackday and that was enjoyable, but the pressure to not bin it and forever be in the dog house made me rein it in a bit. 😅 - Scott

@@ExtraScottandAlana just happy i came away from brands with what would have been a podium in r1 but due to numbers only 1st and 2nd got silverware. glad i decided to just go straight into paddock gravel rather than try fight the corner or would have rolled over. Dave#28

Thanks alot Tigermoto, we appreciate the love. 👌😀 - Scott
