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...

Now this lovely lady was the proper candidate for this! You just know she will take care of that Mini like you´re supossed to. I wish Juley all the best with her Mini!

@sigmamale6128 Жыл бұрын

ah yes you know she will take care of it when shes had it dirty like that for years, makes sense.

@@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.

@douglaspealing5608 2 жыл бұрын

@@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)

Early 90s came then the Rover Mini, but a little expensive maybe. Greetings and congrats from Santiago, Chile SouthAmerica 🇨🇱 PD: what a handsome guy, the skiny guy.🤭 He looks like Chris Evans. 😉

Lovely guys and beautiful Mini. Came up a treat!...but...my biggest disappointment in almost every detailing job I watch from different channels...nobody ever cleans the engine bay!! Probably one of the dirtiest areas which let a car down and they don't do it? Yes I know...electrics and all that, but a simple steam clean is all it takes...why do they not do it? I have my cars regularly valeted and detailed and they always do both the engine and the chassis. Makes a massive difference. Don't get it.
