I run the National Mini Owners club Utility register. It's a thing that enables you to show off your vehicle in the club's quarterly magazine, ask for odd parts, advertise spares you may not want, and is generally the area for utility mini stuff within the club. To join the club send an SAE to Mr Chris Cheal, 15 Birchwood Road Lichfield WS14 9UN For details on the Utility register, contact me, Chris Chambers and I'll try to help.
