That is Wakefield, the building (largely hidden by the bus) with the Austin flag atop is Westgate Motors. More or less the same view more recently.

Another pouting mini. Frank Hamlin car from NZ. Based on a '59 I believe.

Another photo here (1965)...long before the R50 MINI (2001).


All about the Hamlin Special - once the Fastest Mini in the World:-
"It was built out of a blue 1959 lightweight Mini but had parts from a wrecked Cooper 'S' which Frank bought."

NZ Hamlin Special crashed:-

The Triumph Herald was launched around the same time as the Mini in 1959 so was fighting for the same customers - Not sure what this picture says about those that bought the Herald but certainly a 'period' image. Scanned from original slide C.1965.

How many Mini's have done what this Bambino is doing ???? another from NZ.
