Re: Old Period Ads
Remarkable just how many Mini and other motoring accessory firms there were in the North London area, often in backstreets or next to railway lines as the overheads were usually cheaper.

Not seen that Ronnie Biggs ad before .. love it .. bet they would not do that sort of ad today, unless they wanted a trip to the High Court.

Re: Old Period Ads
Wow, apparently offering Aaltonen‘s 1964 Monte works S for half the price of a new car !
But then again, didn’t they make a bunch of ‘showroom dolly’ copies of the three Monte winning cars - could be one of those...?

Only one could be sold with the registration number. Any copies would have a different registration number.iain1967s wrote:But then again, didn’t they make a bunch of ‘showroom dolly’ copies of the three Monte winning cars - could be one of those...?

Re: Old Period Ads
My dad remembers FMO back then, a guy bought it , and it lived up the road from where I am now. Then sold to a guy in Ambleside, who used it everyday, said it was pretty knackered by 1967, he sold to a guy from Liverpool.

A mystery - it may well have been just weighed in but even in '84 there was some interest in 1959 cars as long as they weren't completely knackered.
665VPF is on SORN so it's survived.

Re: Old Period Ads
Just goes to show how easy it is to miss cars, I've lived all my life in or around the Crowthorne area and never saw the Cooper S that was in the advert!
There used to be an early S that dashed around the Broadmoor area painted in a lovely shade of chocolate brown, including the brocade seats, but that disappeared in the early '80's as a lot of them tended to after being 'ragged' for the previous 20 years.
