Great pictures, Super Minx looking surprised as usual . . .

"The image shown below is of John Peyton, (Minister of Transport from 1970 to 1974 in Edward Heath’s Conservative government) in a Mini with Lord Stokes, the chairman of British Leyland. This was taken on October 25th 1972 at the London Motor Show and the occasion was the production of the three millionth Mini. The car, which conveniently happened to be a top of the range 1275GT, was rushed from Longbridge down to London for the Minister to pose in. Lord Stokes told the press: ‘Looking around the show you can see foreign manufacturers have copied our small car design. It won’t take us 13 years to build the next three million — as we fully intend to do.’ In fact it took around another 30 years to build the six millionth Mini, and that was a product of BMW’s Cowley plant Oxford."



And photo below.....quite a few years later the 3 millionth Mini produced by Longbridge.
Which appears to be a Mini Racing Green so 1989.

Great picture, just trying to work out when it was taken, maybe early 90`s ?
. .

The fly in the ointment against that idea Miniman is the B suffix 1964 1100. A B reg 1100 simply couldn't have survived for that long into the 90's.

Reminds me of the top picture on this page. I wouldn't be letting my 1100 that close to a pond - or ANY water if I could help it!

I would think early 90's.

That Fiesta is on a 'G' plate, so unless it's almost new, I would guess early 90's.
The Nissan Sunny (with the roof rack) I would guess is an 'H' or 'G' plate.....

Early '90s chaps for the 1100 pic

Entrance to Skegness pier. Great shot.

Nissan Sunny quite collectable now with the younger folk - seems bizarre, you would never of guessed back then...
