What is the Best Find of 2020?

The end of 2020 is getting near, which means it's time to make up what's the best find of the past year here - a real Maximum Mini tradition. 2020 has proved to be an absolute record year for finds, with 29 Mini variants described here and a few more that I have not yet written about. It is remarkable what came out of sheds, lock-ups, gardens and garages and it wasn't particularly easy to choose just 5. You will find the cars that have made it to the contest below. To vote simply reply to me by email or drop a message below. The one with the most votes wins - it's simple as that. Now, over to the candidates.


Finally found in March this year in rural Worcestershire: the Micron GT. Full story here

Another long-lost car found in April 2020: the ex-Dagobert Swensson Cox GTM. More here

Pellandini found back by former owner David Mottram Down Under in June this year. More here

A totally unexpected find: the Lotus Fisher GT survived, or so I learned in October. More here

2020 was a good year for myself, too. Apart from the Micron GT, I found a forgotten Mini Jem and the long-lost Biota Mk1 'Dutch demonstrator' in November. More here

    My vote goes to the Micron GT. Nice to see that clever little homebrew survive.

    Lotus Fisher; setting yourself the task to redesign a great car like the Lotus and coming up with this. Get's my vote!

    Has to be the Micron GT for me. Fantastic to think that all of the above still survive though. Keith
