Wonderful collection Mark. I missed the ERA videos but, the Mk3 is closest to mine although it is a 998 (1014 after reborn according to Thomas Classic & Modern). Of your 3 favourites, mine would be the Mk1 S which I saw on the channel. Thank you for sharing & looking forward to the walk round of the others. PS. I bought my first mini in 1967, and 850 Morris Mini Minor Superdeluxe.
Such a beautiful collection mark hats off to you for all the hard work to have such a brilliant garage! I think you know I’d be driving the ERA all day long! That interior looks so cushy!
Good to see some of the minis in daylight they all look amazing for me ERA love the comfort in driving it can't wait for the reveal on the trailer some people are going to be very surprised great video Keith
Fabulous collection Mark.. Sentimentality would make me choose the Mk l 'S' as I had a Downton version in the same colours back in the 1960's. But I must say I'd be happy owning and driving any of them as I know how expertly (with a shout out to Keith) you've done the restoration work and your attention to detail . I'm looking forward to seeing your "Mystery Car" !
Oh , you got more minis at the back also , I am relatively new so catching up with your videos, 11 minis wow , only seven minis now unbelievable, you make me smile, didn’t know you had a sliding window model , not forgetting the standard peg is a must , the sliding window one is my favourite, that was great to see your unbridled passion for minis, am I a little jealous no , massively jealous oh yes , can’t wait till the next video, take care you = me .
Yes Kavan, all tucked away not driven much. Yes, the Swiftune Madgwick and the Mk1 van both with sliding windows. It almost became an obsession when i started buying them, there is mini stuff all over the house too. I've driven my wife and kids crazy I'm sure. 😂
@@markdraper7 Part of life for Husbands and fathers to drive wife’s and children crazy , when is the next video? = yes another impatient male not our fault just part of our DNA .
Hi Mark, I remember helping you and Keith to strip down the ERA to a bare shell, I think that it was November time but that garage was toasty warm, great collection of minis 👍
haha, nearly! 😂 I did have a pick up, but long legs didn't work so it was uncomfortable to drive so i sold it to a guy in the States. Never say never on a Moke, but it's another one that wouldn't get used much so decided against it.
Id pick the in-between mini plus its in a better colour, the era has no chrome so not for me but I expect the swift tune on the right occasion is the best
Thanks for showing us your collection! Looking forward to seeing your GT Clubby!

Thank you Edward. 🙂 Wow, do you still have the Superdeluxe?

Thanks Matt. It's not been easy, but worth it!🙂

It's been a while for some of them lol. Definitely the most comfortable! X
Absolutely beautiful minis Mark. I love red cars so my pick is the ERA Turbo.
Thank You. Great choice! There is plenty of red paint on that car too.🙂
I pick Swiftune for the win! tHanks for the video!
Thanks for watching, there is more to come! Good choice 🙂

Thanks Pete. It's such a difficult decision as they all have their pros and cons. The mystery car won't be to everyone's liking. 😅
Really enjoyed your walk around Mark, you’ve got a really impressive collection.
Thanks Peter. I put a lot of thought into which ones i should buy and really happy i choose the ones i did. 🙂
Great collection🤩 I would love to have the Madgwick😍
Thank you. Good choice!

That was a quick strip Paul. Yes, it was November. Got to keep them minis happy. 😉
Love the ERA, what`s next? a MK2 project?
Me too John, he's a bit of an animal! Definitely not a MK2. 🙂
I bought my Mini also in Truro,small world.
Small world indeed. Lovely place. 🙂
15:11 A proper cat..........Coool cat.
Blimey Mark, I think you have a foot in all Mini Camps!😅 ....Suprised you've not got a Moke to round off the collection!..... unless!!! Br Andy

The ERA and the Swiftune are both ends of the comfort spectrum, ERA quicker. The Mk3 Cooper in a good all rounder. 🙂
Obviously I love my ERA but I did restore a 1071cc Cooper S between 89 and 93 which had to be sold to pay for my house build lol
They are both great cars for different reasons. Really difficult to choose. Lol, probably most people have done that and regretted it Mark.😅
I think you know which one I’d pick mark 😂😂😂
ummm, Cooper Mk3 by any chance? 🤣🤣
@@markdraper7 cheque
Think I’d have the white one, not so sure about the ERA, too much for my liking 😅 hey that’s just me. Mystery car ooh! What can it be?😮
The ERA brings out the boy racer 😬😅 The Madgwick is very nice and Fast, just raw!
Is the mystery car a broadspeed?
No, very different to a Broadspeed......🙂
1st 🤣 Mark?, the Man of Many Mini's!
😂 Man of many talents AND many minis?😉
Hiya Mark-really enjoyed the walkaround. The ERA to me is the best one, but they are all nice. Keep well.
Cheers Dave. Only because you sat in it! 😉😆
