Apart from my pets one of the biggest things I miss from home is my car, a 1960 UK 850 Morris Mini.

Unfortunately importing my mini to Taiwan is off the cards due to Taiwan’s regulations on not allowing car imports on cars older then ten years (my car turned 50 this year!).

ThusiIn an effort to stave off the homesickness pangs that rise every time I see a mini here in Taiwan I’ve decided to catalogue the minis I run across in my travels.

Most of the minis here in Taiwan appear to be Japanese Rover imports. Here’s a lovely maintained red example I found on a bicycle ride through Hsinchu Science Park;

For now I’m happy with my scooter but I can see I’m going to have to buy myself another mini sooner or later.

1. Little Ding Dong Science Park, Hsinchu County Taiwan
2. Blue Rover Mini in Longtan Township, Taiwan
3. Black Rover Mini in Longtan, Taoyuan County
4. Red Roundnose Mini, Tucheng City in Taipei Taiwan
5. Green Roundnose Mini in Jhunan Township, Miaoli
