Re: Mini 25 Donington programme
I have a poster somewhere and some A4 sized ones
I had a trade stall at it and they arrived from Austin Rover on the Friday when the event was on Sunday
In fact I had THE trade stand. They were asking £110 for a stall when most shows were £25 tops. Everyone copped out until I had the bright idea that if everyone else wasn't standing for it , I could be in for a good thing
I took such gems as 35 sets of nudge bars and sold everything. I didn't know where to stuff the cash.
We were doing convertible conversions and we managed to get the roof off a 25 in time but didn't have time to make a hood for it. Luckily it didn't rain all weekend
How times change

Re: Mini 25 Donington programme
Gosh, I wonder why umbrellas were so expensive? I doubt you would pay £12 for one now unless it was a dead posh version.

Re: Mini 25 Donington programme
The late Charles Pollet was there with the Ohio Mini Owners.
I'm second in the queue here to go out for the parade laps.
This Mini from Sweden was one of the first Mini's I had seen fitted with the then brand new low profile Pirelli P7F 175/50 x 13 tyres on 6x13" alloys. I went out and bought a set shortly after!

Re: Mini 25 Donington programme
I have this poster with all the racing drivers signatures that day. I also have a nice pic with dad on the front row. Will dig them out over the weekend.UHR850 wrote:And the poster I got from there !
