From 1998 to 1999 I built my own Mini from scratch. The basis was a 1989 body that I transformed to a Mk1 look. The Dutch license number was 68-DH-68 (1974). The color was Honolulu Blue.

I sold the car to someone in Holland in 2001 and a little later he sold the car to someone in the USA (I think it was Boston).

Does anybody know where this car is or has anybody seen this car?
