- Finally it's time to venture out onto the road for the 1st time in the £200 Salvage R50 Mini Cooper. Its not finished by any means but presentable enough and all now road legal!
Nothing too adventurous just a leisurely drive home to check everything works and iron out any issues that come to light on the drive.
From here (all going well) its straight off to the Cornish Mini Club Riviera Run 2024 @ Pentewan Sands the following week in its current shabby condition.
Lets hope it makes it!!!!!

One of my fav RUclipsrs. Hearing you enjoy the mini drive was same as me when I got one last year as a runabout- same year as yours. Fab little cars that are addictive 😂
Many thanks for the comment. Yes, its surprisingly fun...especially as I've been brought up on Vauxhalls...(though still have a couple of them tucked away coming to the channel at some point). It performed faultlessly today as well as I took it to the Cornish Mini Club Riviera Run...video of the event coming very soon. I've got a plan for the styling on the R50 and looking into the engine side of things. Don't want to go supercharged or k swap I feel as alreat got a supercharged suzuki swift and a few jdm goodies. Think I want to stay true to the original R50 engine and see what's possible with that. Oh, and got a cheeky race cat back Hornet exhaust gathering dust to throw at it soon ;)
I live over in St Stephen, funny seeing Trewoon on youtube, I've got a Mini Cooper F56 which I love!
Just down the road from me then. You'll probably see me on the road at some point then as I'm using the Mini most days along with 'Peter The Mondeo'.
Well look like you did well there sam, cos you didn’t know what it drove like before!
Be nice little run around car for you, even if you do have to do that clutch!👍
Indeed!!! I literally did what it needed and then just drove it...still on its fuel it had from the salvage yard..not the best I know. Might explain the slight running issue but we'll find out. However, its performing very well. 100miles in now with no further issues and it made an appearance at the Cornish Mini Club Riviera Run today so all good...video of the even coming really soon ;)
