40-Year-Old Mini Gets a *LONG* Overdue Detail | Top Gear Clean Team

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Juley has owned seven Minis over the years, but she has brought her 1981 Austin Morris Mini “Little Min” to the Clean Team for some professional help. She keeps the car in good nick but doesn’t shy away from using it as her daily driver, often using it to transport plants and gardening equipment. This has left the original upholstery looking a little bit grubby and in need of some TLC. Light work for the Top Gear Clean Team...

    @@sigmamale6128 When you think about the fact that this car is 40 years old and used with a whole family it was pretty clean and in a good condition. She might not be crazy about cleaning it every Sunday but she took care of it. And you have really other thinks to do as a mom than worrying over your car. The car wouldn't look like that if she didn't took care all those years.

    Big killer for these old cars is safety. Such cool little things, but you really really mustn't crash in them. No crumple zones, no airbags, no abs etc - really makes owning one as a daily driver quite a risk.

    @@SpottedCreeper the designer, Alec issigonis (I think I spelt that right) once said something along the lines of, "it's designed to be nimble enough to not crash." Had an uncle who managed to write off a lorry with his mini. Admittedly he nearly wrote himself off too, but not quite. Obviously the mini was no more. Also no crumple zones aren't a bad thing in old cars nowadays... everyone else has such nice soft cars to hit, just use their crumple zones! (Of course, I jest)
