Oh this is fun

There are some excellent guesses & some are not that far off the mark, I'm not saying which though.

Just one little clue to keep you thinking, it's a car that has been discussed on the MK1 forum previously.

I'm picking it up later this week & may post a pic then.

That was my first guess, but alas, i believe not.

Nah, won't be a v8 I don't think that's marks style.. Bet it has an ally head though!

Chris, your detective work makes Clouseau look plausable

I hope to god you're not really a rozzer !

Interesting guesses, keep 'em coming. In fact if/when someone guesses the car I'm gonna throw a prize in.

That purple Matchbox racing Mini?

Is the car in the UK?

Funny that, that was Pandora's suggestion via PM.

What, if Mark started this thread to find any ideas about a Mini to buy ?

chris-pilling · Post by **chris-pilling** » Mon Oct 04, 2010 10:17 am

Well there's a few cars I recon it could be and I think mark has a soft spot for a certain tuning company.. But I'm not sure which one it will be! As I don't have a clue which/where or who owns them! Does the reg have. 5 and a 9 in it? I don't want to give it away though as this is fun

Andreas,

You have sussed me out.

I only started this thread to find out if there were any interesting Minis available to buy

And as everyone on here should know, if its not green with a star on the bonnet I'm not interested at the moment.

I could of course be lying.

Well, if there is a prize at stake......

What was the green cooper someone found in a garage in a slightly run down condition? It had restals, but beyond that I can't recal the details

I'm assuming it's not a works car, but possibly a coachbuilt?

Course, it could be marigold the Downton van?

Do I get a prize for the most suggestions?

It's a car, here in France!

You bloody tease Mark! Every time I see one of those green things I hear in my head, " That suicide is painless, It brings on many changes, And I can take or leave it if I please. And then "hawkeye" appears

Oh hang on, I just saw :
