Thanks Nige.

I've been trawling a forum called AutoShite which has a couple of lengthy threads of old pics on it.

Ridley Place Newcastle with a couple of BSMs finest.

Benton Road, Newcastle

Rawling Road, Gateshead 1990. Judging by the detached rear valence this was probably a bit rusty.

Birmingham, I'm guessing late 1968 as the Sandy Beige MK2 looks like it is brand spankers with those clean front arches.

Prince Charles, October 1967, steps from a Mini on arriving at Trinity College, Cambridge,
plus the colourised version below...

The colour version is a hand made tint, just like postcards of old. The give away is that the tinter got lazy towards the bottom of the picture as there is no colour saturation at all.

Someone will probably be sending in a claim for the resurrected V5 as we speak.....any Mk1 Mini associated with Prince Charles with photographic and video evidence must have significantly increased in value now he is our King.

That is Oliver Smedley who drove the car to Italy in 1967 to protest against the UK joining.
