Those are sure nice looking wheels you've got there!

 

Nice pictures Minidave, you must have a good photog on call.

 

Awesome classic mini.

That is exactly what I want to buy.

 

Yes, he got some good pics that day! :beer

Thanks for those, BTW!

 

And a few more along the way...

 

BTW, Bruce is coming up to Arkansas next month to join us on our Classic Mini Fun Run!

Congrats Brooktrout! Never did ask on FB if you kept your R56 justa...

Still waiting to see your classic on some club drives.
Maybe the Leprechaun run?

 

Nice Mini there Booktrout! Automatic Minis are a bit more rare. Are you planning on keeping it that way, or converting to a manual?

 

Yep, I still have the 2009 Cooper.

I'm not sure about bringing it to this year's MINI5280 Leprechaun Run but I am planning on taking it to Ian's MINI/Mini drive on April 4th. He is trying to get as many classics from Minis Of The Rockies to go. I am still not sure about going all the way to Manitou Springs though.

Thanks BruceK,

I am planning on keeping it an automatic.

I have been finding a lot of good resources scouring the internet.

There is an Austin America site that goes into great detail on rebuilding the AP Automatic Transmission.

A company called JPAT in Bristol England is still making parts and rebuild kits for the Mini Auto.

There is also a forum dedicated to automatic Minis and Austin 1100/1300s called the Auto Mini Register.

I also picked up the BMC service manual for the automatic from Mini City Ltd.

I think as long as JPAT in Bristol stays in business I will be able to keep the automatic transmission going.
