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.

Oh so you're the guy who beat me to buying this lol.  Do I ban you now?  ;D

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.

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)

30 minutes in a Mini is more therapeutic than 3 sessions at the shrink.
