Birthday girl

Post by JC T ONE »

Got this in the mail today 8-)

EDIT (apparently is the link a couple of weeks old) just googled her, and her birthday was the 5th.

"This weekend, British actress Charlotte Rampling will celebrate her birthday, and we’re marking the occasion with a classic snap from the sex symbol’s early career in 1967, the year she starred in an episode of The Avengers.
Of course, a sexy young actress required wheels to match, and what better ride than an old-school Mini ?
A bit of what the Brits call “posh totty” nowadays, Rampling was a fashion model before landing her first role in 1965′s mods & rockers flick The Knack… And How to Get It".


I would say its a S (LP882,s) good period photo, found here http://driven.urbandaddy.com/2012/02/09/rampling-mini/

Which kind of hubcaps are those, doesn't seem to be the regular 59 square hole or the late 60 deluxe.

(I know, there are better things to look at the pic rather than the hubcaps, but it is a car forum)

JC, you sure know how to find great pictures, Charlotte Rampling was one of my all time favourite bits of crumpet, she is an absolute cracker, cars quite nice too.

I will have to do a google images search for more pictures of her now, see what you have started.

Nice picture...

but I have a question....those reflectors on the back of the doors....are those common in the UK/??? My Mini came with a couple of those and I just put them back on about 3 years ago.

Thanks

It has chrome round the doors, std hub caps and these particular wheels because it's Cooper S. All Ss came with small hub caps because that was all that fitted the wheels. The door reflectors are actually there to stop the door edges getting bashed in London.
