When I looked at the first version of the picture literally the ONLY Thing I noticed was that the number plate was back to front!

What a sad F8*(&er.

Well I certainly liked it.....! What a cracking pair..., back to front or not. And I don't mean the number plates either! What is even BETTER, is that it's true

TMO840, a sort of Works Mini but not fully prepped. No idea if Abingdon prepped it. 965GFC is one of the press cars.

Me and wifey think that Coasta's top picture of TMO is in Abingdon with part of the HighSt/Ock street going across the rear with car travelling up lower end of the old Bath street - as was. Changed now of course but parts of it are still recognisable. Unless anyone knows different of course

You'd think that a man like Steve McQueen would have had a bit of class and ridden a Norton.......

I think the Triumph bike is a 500cc Tiger 100s with the Siamese exhaust.
