Re: Just a nice period picture
I wonder who all of the consecutively GNW 2xxY minis were destined for. Any idea anyone?

Re: Just a nice period picture
Keith Dodd of Minispares, 1st Mini & 2nd a Wolseley Hornet.
Keith's first Mini about 1966 was a cheap very high mileage Morris Van 217BGW with gold seal engine.
His second was a Wolseley Hornet DMP513A, when purchased secondhand in 1967 was originally blue and had a Taurus engine conversion which was a 28/36 down draught Weber carb on a gas flowed head and free flow manifold.
More details in the Minispares blog:-
https://www.minispares.com/blog/2022/11/25/wolseley/
"Keith Dodd started Mini Spares Centre back in 1975 as a direct result of seeing the need for specialist Mini knowledge. Having spent his whole working life with the BMC network he realised there was a large customer base for people who owned and raced Mini's."
