Minis have played a major part in our lives for over 20 years as daily transport, and the end is not in sight yet. A substantial part of this time has been spent keeping them on the road, from general servicing to major restoration.

Most general parts are still available for them, and rightly so, but when you start venturing into the accurate restoration of the less popular variants then you start to come across supply problems.

I primarily supply parts for the Elf, Hornet and Pickup variants that you cannot purchase else where, which I have needed for my own restorations. The development and investment that is involved in producing bespoke parts is quite extensive, so I have decided to to make these parts generally available to you to save the hassel of trying to craft them. I also supply other parts that are for use on all Minis, but are not generally available.

All parts are made to the highest standard that I can achieve for a reasonable cost, and a lot are tried and tested in our rally Hornet.

If you require a special part making, then I have metal working and machining facilities readily available, so please feel free to ask. Please also look at the other contacts below as these people can supply a lot of other bits as well.

To get an idea of what we are achieving on the restoration front, have a look at Humphrey's pages, his ongoing restoration and rallying adventures on a budget. Before any one asks, I do not restore cars for others as I do not have the time and it will upset the neighbours, but I can point you to people who can.

We are continually developing new products and updating, and if you would like to be kept informed of these developments and added to our update list please drop us an email. This information will only be used for this purpose and not passed onto anyone else. Your privacy is paramount.
