The car is/was a dark blue Radford with a Downton engine.
It was originally owned by movie director Hal Ashby.
MR purchased the car around 2000 or there abouts.

It also appears very briefly in the first Austin Powers film.

Austin Mini Cooper S LDM 986 D, Tartan Red and Black is probably the late Dave Evans from Holywell with possibly a female navigator. Dave once told me the car was Abingdon prepared.
