Dan Wheeler is looking for colour suggestions for his new car.
I have suggested standard, '64-'66 period only but he's not keen....and to be fair he's right not to be.

Ahhh...it's a Wolseley Hornet disguised as a Mini! :lol: Funnily enough I tried to buy a nice little Mutant in this colour scheme for a racer project recently! The colours are reversed, but I think that looks great Andy!

After months of searching i have located the driver of 882 PKX he rallied round and about the East Midlands area late 70s to mid 80s when i bought it...He has some pics but needs to digitalise them to email them...Has anybody heard of Peter Buckley from Derby or rallied against him in road rallies...He sent me a lovely email saying how reliable and competitive the Mini was... So im looking for photos of 882 PKX just thought this might help...He did an event called the Noble Mellors Rally and came 18th o/a...

cheers
