Bob is an orange 1982 mini City. Before he came to us he belonged to my husband's grandad. Then followed a stint on my brother-in-laws drive, where restoration work was started. He's now sat on our driveway, more fresh air than rust and with a couple of panels missing. This is the (probably long) story of Bob's restoration and how one day Bob will live once again.
