I'm not sure that there is a classic club in Vermont but, you could be the first to join ours! We'd love to have you. I absolutely love classic Minis.

I'm the one with a 61 mini.
To be honest there isn't a whole lot on them that is too complex to work on by a good experienced mechanic(pick one that is old enough to know that a carb isn't a dietary term).
Where exactly are you in Southern Vermont?

I do happen happen to have some mini parts for sale, like 13" rims and 10" rims, and some race tires.

These guys built a very cool Healey Sprite with a Jag 6-cylinder in it that I've seen at British Invasion. They are located in West Pawlet, and the guy who runs it seemed extremely nice, and knowledgeable.
