Nice to see these Sprites on the transporter here Stu. I spent a day with Roger Enever in the pre-Corona times, who was a works driver on one of these Sprites at Le Mans. We were hoping to reunite with his car at the Healey Museum here, but sadly the Le Mans Sprite they had on loan had gone back home already. He showed us some great pictures from the Healey works showing these cars being built, and pictures from testing and some things on SR37. Good memories.

Interesting to see the ground/wheelarch clearance on these - obviously when fairly new. Quite a lot more than I remember. We had new Minivans at work but it was a long time ago now and most of their life they carried a bit of weight around with them of course.

I couldn't possibly comment, but at least it sounds more exotic than 'up the workers'

Mini based Camber GT.... looks like an Aardvark on wheels....

Or what in Australia, we'd call a '.....fugly'

There was also an Downton tuned Zagato , (The Motor March 14 1962) I have a large original article about it. Did send it to Cooperworld so hopefully it will be published again.

Spotted this in the new Beatles documentary. Is it an OGLE?

Strange angle but it does look a bit like one doesn't it.

1982 on the Severn Valley Railway, filming 'L For Lester' with Brian Murphy (George from 'George & Mildred)....




(The loco is Swindon built 'Western' class Diesel-Hydraulic D1013 'Western Ranger', currently undergoing another full restoration at the SVR, built in '62 and withdrawn in '77, it's now been in preservation far longer than it was in BR service).

All rather silly, but plenty of mini action.

Carnaby Street - the two tone Mk1 Mini looks like it could be an Austin Super....
