Thanks Nige.

I've been trawling a forum called AutoShite which has a couple of lengthy threads of old pics on it.

I'm on there regularly too Stu, nice friendly forum.

Yes there's quite a bit of humour on there.


Barried Mini takes double roundabout experiment.




Spot the PECO Big Boy

A couple of snaps from the Isle of guernsey

Sandyford, Newcastle upon Tyne,1965


On the way to a rally.


Doing the rounds up in the Highlands

Baltic Chambers Newcastle. Spot the D1s.




Kids messing about

Frank Street, Benwell, Newcastle. This was the location of Carter's brothers house in the Michael Caine film. looks like the van owner did not trust ther hand brake.





Grey's Monument, that's Earl Grey the tea bloke.

Ridley Place Newcastle with a couple of BSMs finest.




Benton Road, Newcastle




Rawling Road, Gateshead 1990. Judging by the detached rear valence this was probably a bit rusty.

Birmingham, I'm guessing late 1968 as the Sandy Beige MK2 looks like it is brand spankers with those clean front arches.

Just a wee stop

Prince Charles, October 1967, steps from a Mini on arriving at Trinity College, Cambridge,
plus the colourised version below...

The colour version is a hand made tint, just like postcards of old. The give away is that the tinter got lazy towards the bottom of the picture as there is no colour saturation at all.

Someone will probably be sending in a claim for the resurrected V5 as we speak.....any Mk1 Mini associated with Prince Charles with photographic and video evidence must have significantly increased in value now he is our King.

That is Oliver Smedley who drove the car to Italy in 1967 to protest against the UK joining.
