Hello all my name is Luke and I first discovered the existence of these beautiful little cars about 3 years ago when i came across some on eBay, I fell in love with them and ended up buying a florescent orange one to use as my first car :P it has been sat on my drive since as I lacked the funds to actually get my licence and fix the problems that came with the car. I have started work on it and it is almost ready to go with only the n/s kingpin and the headlight images causing it to fail its MOT. It was living in Manchester with about 5 more (all in a different colour) which were just used as advertising for a local taxi firm so hadn't been driven for many years prior to me purchasing it, we went for a dive with our trailer and she now lives in (not so) sunny Cornwall with her new family.We as a family have owned many classic cars (especially minis) over the years and I love how well the BIS fits in with its new friends.
