20 JULY <strong>2018</strong><br />
WWW.KELSEY.CO.UK<br />
It's report overload this month with all<br />
the details and pictures from the British<br />
<strong>Mini</strong> Day, London to Brighton and the<br />
International <strong>Mini</strong> Meet in Portugal.<br />
Kevin Webb’s Maroon B-coloured <strong>Mini</strong><br />
Minor leads on quite nicely from these,<br />
as if you were at the London to Brighton<br />
prize giving, you might have witnessed<br />
Kevin’s shock at winning the ‘Best in<br />
Show’. We can’t see why he was so<br />
shocked, as this is a beautifully restored<br />
early <strong>Mini</strong> Minor De Luxe, with an<br />
interesting story to go with it.<br />
Another perfectly restored original <strong>Mini</strong><br />
comes in the form of Paul Billington’s<br />
Clubman, finished in the oh-so-’70s shade<br />
of Antelope with a distinctive red vinyl<br />
interior. Restored to concours condition,<br />
on top of the originality what really<br />
impresses is the level of detail. And the<br />
hard work has paid off with the amount<br />
of silverware won in recent events.<br />
Dan Ingles’ Cooper LE is no stranger to<br />
the polishing cloth, but that wasn’t the<br />
original plan. He got the concours bug<br />
after initally buying this Cooper to run<br />
through the summer and sell. The result<br />
is a sympathetic upgrade of a soughtafter<br />
limited edition and lots of chrome.<br />
Last but not least is our cover car Tom<br />
Read’s Wolseley Hornet. With 150bhp,<br />
EMAIL<br />
minimag.ed@kelsey.co.uk<br />
Yamaha R1-bike power, a stripped-out<br />
and caged interior, plus the distinctive<br />
Porsche Miami Blue exterior, this is a very<br />
serious, race-orientated <strong>Mini</strong> saloon!<br />
Mad and brilliant in equal measure, I<br />
salute Tom for this <strong>Mini</strong> creation.<br />
Elsewhere, if you’re having front wheel<br />
bearing issues, we’ve got a complete<br />
fitting guide in <strong>Mini</strong> Tech, a full fitting<br />
guide of MED's all-new cambelt<br />
conversion, and a closer look at tracking<br />
in Neil's latest instalment on handling.<br />
We also have the story of reader Sarah<br />
Thomas’s ‘Little Pig’ Studio 2, which is<br />
being rebuilt back to stock.<br />
Looking forward to <strong>Mini</strong> In The Park<br />
already, enjoy the issue!<br />
