Quick one before I nip off to work...

Kensal Road, 1969, the nearest Mini looks like it's on period alloys but I can't quite make out what they are...

Beatle George has just arrived at Apple Corp HQ in Savile Row in his Merc in 1969, looks like an Innocenti Mini parked up behind it...

Not an Inno, looks like some Lucas L734 Side Repeaters stuck on a UK Mini.

And I wonder if the bloke with the VW bus is still looking for his engine.

Quite a few streets in that area vanished under the new construction of the Westway / A40(M) at the time, including the one my Great Gran lived in for a while. No Minis in these pics but they show just how run down parts of West London were in the '60s and 'early '70s...

If any of these still exist they're probably quite gentrified by now, with a price tag to match.

If the rumours are to be believed there are quite a few corpses under there too :lol:
