Non Mini pic, but some nice BMC content - Keith Richards and chums larking about in the lanes near his West Wittering country pad 'Redlands', 12th February 1967, a few hours after the pic was taken the local constabulary knocked on his door having been tipped off by the News Of The World that various naughty substances were being consumed...

If they'd knocked on his door five minutes earlier they'd have nabbed George Harrison too, but he left early in his blacked out Radford Cooper S and the old Bill couldn't see who was driving it. The press turned the whole thing into a massive hoo-ha, with Mick and Keith both spending a short time behind bars. Keith was picked up from the Scrubs in his Bentley S3 Continental Flying Spur...
