Who gives a hoot - it's only a Mk.3! (and still better looking the 90% of the "Fast 'n Furious" riceburners out there!)

i think thats what was spent on keeping the drinks cabinet filled!!!


to be fair to it, its a rare survior of a period of car modding that has vanished today, and the fact its survived should be celebrated - just think, at one point a high percentage of 1960's minis would have had some form of tat screwed onto them.


oh, and no, im not buying it!
please note, these are my own, individual sales, nothing whatsoever to do with my employer, minispares
