KPO?

...was sitting in the rebirth a few weeks ago - looks lovely now!

Yes KPO. Lionel stuck the number plate on his race car for Goodwood and thats the only reason I recognised the number on the original that the cheeky builders (who were rebuilding a wall next to it) were flogging off on Ebay. I contacted them and told 'em it wasn't theirs to sell and if it wasn't for Mick Brough legging it down there they definately would have! Scooby Doo eat your heart out..

Yeah, I heard the full story from Neilson - couldn't make it up!

..and then with it being his first Mini from when he was 14 or something

Last night I was watching an old BFI film from 1965 called 'The Pleasure Girls' with Ian McShane tooling round Kensington in a nicely modded earlyish Mk1, naturally I paused the dvd to have a proper shuftie at it, as well as the Webasto sunroof, Styla wheel trims and spinners, Benelite grille etc it appears to have vinyl or leather covered top and bottom dash rails, extra gauges and unusual looking cloth seats + door trims similar to the 997 Cooper prototype seen a Goodwood in 1961 (the door trims are much clearer in the film)...

Clearly the DAF was in the wrong
And so was the Ford Escort (whatever he did)

Is there anything less fearsome than the police in a VW microbus? I mean, some Dutch guy on his three speed bike can outrun that get up.

I assume the VW microbus was filled with shovels and rakes and other implements of destruction...Brits get that reference?

people who are really stoned and full of pancakes cannot run very fast though................

I dunno, I think it would still be close enough for oddsmakers to call it an even bet.

Down in the Mews in '69 with the Bee gees drummer Colin Peterson, c/o the Getty archive...

Is this fearsome enough?

But starting in 1962 they also had this;


and from 1966 onwards this;


Now show us the mounts of the British constabulary to match

Nuff said

It only gets worse. ..
