It was great to meet you today, hopefully next time your in the event and enjoying it more. Classic car clubs are a must like you have mentioned. Hopefully catch you soon. Thank you for the shout out. Stick with it, teddy will get fixed up don’t worry 👍
Back in 1979, my little cream mini 1000 decided to breakdown on the himley road as we live not far from there. We were stuck on side of road by himley hall when this car flew past us and reversed back to us. Fella got out the car in a saturday night fever cream 3 piece suit lol. Yep he offered to tow us approx 3 miles home at crazy speed might I add. I was 19 at the time and hadn't long passed my driving test. After that I've been Aa member for years. My ex was a chairman of a classic car club few yrs later so I know what it's like to have a classic car break down en route to a rally. Had a trailer on back if a p6 rover literally fall apart going over some rough country lane up lake district. That was great fun not 😂 My daughter used to have a mini same colour as teddy many years later. The sunroof rained in on that. The joys of classic car fun and break downs. Himley hall is lovely to walk around the grounds. It's a local place we go to now and again.
I would consider fitting an electron ignition, runs better with it. The cutting out you had may well be down to air leaky re the extra gaskets you fitted. The joys of minis. Good luck
@@stephenjackson9217 Buy an Accuspark kit, got mine off E Bay, not cheap at about £115 but comes with coil, leads plugs and a complete new distributor, trouble with points and condensers nowadays is they are cheap and not as well made as they were back in the day so don't last, they are a faff to set up and keep in tune, an electronic kit is fit and forget.
