It was inevitable really..............

It was inevitable really that with a grandad and dad working on classic cars day in and day out that oldest grandson would develop an interest. Ever since he was a baby he loved cars and with a car business this has just grown. Matthew is 14 years old and keen to be a mechanic when he gets older (no surprise there then). For the last six months he has been nagging about getting a classic mini. We have one in the workshop which we bought to renovate, Sandy (the mini clubman estate) is lovely but automatic and also nearly finished. With three years before Matthew will be able to drive we needed a slightly bigger project, although that is not what we got. Matthew spotted a mini for sale in mini magazine and after a few phone calls and a visit it was agreed to buy it. Matthew is thrilled and is all ready to get started on his renovation.Hopefully he will get to learn how all the bits work and fit together so that he can take responsibility for his car. His favourite bits about Winston (yes it does have a name) are the Union Jack dash and roof.
