I think I have an "petroconsumption" disorder! It started decades ago with motorcycles, evolved into antique motorcycles then about 6 years ago I bought my first MINI. Fast forward to 2021. At the end of the year I had accumulated 3 modern MINIs and a LHD 1990 Mini Mayfair. You would think that enough right?

Noooo, so this week my buds at MOTR post an Facebook ad for a 1966 Riley Elf. I mean just how many of these have you seen in person, one or two maybe. Perhaps a Wolseley Hornet or Peter Kyte's 1000.

Needless to say, the missus isn't very happy with me :-[, but I can't wait to get my grubby little paws on this ride.

Ah. It's a 1965, eh? Still has the external door hinges. Nice!

It was a bargain at the price the seller posted it for.

petroconsumption" disorder must be relatively common. I think I have it too.

2 modern Minis
1 older (early 2000's) Harley
1 x 1987 Austin Mini from Wales.

I love your new acquisition. Only ever seen 1 in the wild (ever!) and of course a few more at Mini Meets (but not too many)
