Lord Snowdon in his 850, I wonder when someone's gonna recreate this one ??

Reminiscent of BMC's faded glory.

I like it too, there is an forum member who can copy it but I forgot his name.

Kees.

Honda factory rider Mike Hailwood Mike the bike 1961

yes they are

there is a bloke who still uses a horse and cart that goes into my local scrap metal yard

he goes in, over the weighbridge, empties the cart, back over the weighbridge, then comes out, ties the 'hoss' & cart to the fence on the other side of the road and goes back into the office to be paid

the horse just stands there, it isn't bothered, when he comes out it just plods off with him

he genuinely looks like he has just come out of the 1970's and is the reincarnation of albert steptoe

Has he got hoss to do a shit and drop few more punds before it goes back on't plate?

Screen grab, apologies for the scanline in the center.

Remember those famous black and white stills of girls piling into a Mk1 to see how many they could cram in? Here's the original footage...

My '64 850 bought (by mistake!) from Henley Classic Minis, it's now in a Mk4 shell with a 1275 lump...

Would i stop in a Mini next to a Male Lion .. he does not look that sleepy & might fancy a Tin of Sardines.

Me neither, it was bad enough with the monkeys at West Mids Safari Park in my old '79 Clubman, the little b*st*rds had bot hwasher jets and one of my wipers!

The Candy 1 is a replica of Candy and Andys car, a long forgotten Gerry Anderson comic. It ran for a few years but faded away as people just did not get it.

I have a copy of the storybook somewhere which I picked up at Blyton a few years ago.





I've also got on of the Dinky Toys with the figures

Not a Mini, but certainly a Cooper, couple of shots of my dad's Cooper 500 from the early 60's.

Those alloys look very lightweight Mark, were they a one off set for the car..?

Kings Road, '67...

Look like Speedex alloys on the Cooper 500.
Early company that Jem Marsh of Marcos fame was involved with I believe?
