Great photo's. I've been searching through the Mini Extravaganza photos for years looking for a photo of one of my old 59's that was entered into the concourse section on the day. It still had the letters of acceptance from the organisers and the concour d'elegance ticket and entrant number with it's history. Also had a copy of that brochure too. One day I hope to find of photograph of the car there to pass on to the new owner.

What a brilliant set of photos, this was the very first Mini event that I attended & I was absolutely blown away by the day.
Seeing such an array of fantastic cars really turned my head.
Oh, if only it was all so simple & so much fun nowadays.

I will try to scan in some old photos which show them off better.......polished 'slot mags' were all the rage at the time due to the Custom Car craze, so I sold my Mamba 6x10's to buy a set of shiny Wolfrace 5x10 slot mags but then the wider 6x10 Cosmic Supaslots came out for Mini's so the Wolfrace were quickly sold and a trip to 'John Brown Wheels' in Croydon saw me purchase a set of the deep dish Cosmics!

I wanted to go to this but didn't - well, I was 11.
I did the Mini 30 though.

I wonder how many of those cars at that show are still on the road?
