Can anybody who has one supply me a good scan of one?

Could also be nice for the main site!

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

Some Mini 25 memorabilia from my visit to Mini 25 as an Exhibitor way back in 1984.

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

A selection of my photos scanned from the day.

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!

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.
