Yes a Daimler Dart. One of the few things my Dad kept when him and Mum seperated, luckily!!

But it's better than standard: a 4.5 Litre V8 from a Majestic major has replaced the original 2.5 V8. If only it was going...
See more about it here:

And a video here:

And more about the Mini here:
http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3835869/1976-austin-mini
Mini's are pretty rare over here, yet more and more seem to be popping up around the place. I'm glad I got mine before most other people did in my area

Hahahaha
We also have a Renault 12 estate (my bro's project, not going), four Renault 19's (two not going), a Humber Hawk Estate (my bro's other project, also not going), a Suzuki Vitara (my bro's 4x4), a Mitsubishi Pajero (mums work horse) and a Mazda 626 (my bro's work vehicle.) And along with the two Lada's, the Dart, the Mini and the Mini Clubman that's about all our vehicles. So just a few vehicles are in our posession.
Most of the boring ones are there for a purpose. The others are just awesome haha
