Apologies to followers for the lack of footage on the '59 Mini. We've had a lot on in the Shed.
Anyway Ivan finally got the tyres for the Speedwell wheels and gets them fitted.
The new tyres and wheels are wider than standard hence the Carlos Fandango reference (a TV advert for Panama cigars in the UK in the 80s I think) - see    • Panama Cigars - Carlos Fandango Wheels  

We're waiting for a few new parts for the carbs, and the wheel centres - plus the dynamo isn't behaving but we're getting there.
