Ian , I bought my first car in 1966 , 18 year old and of course it was a 1961 Austin mini.
One evening down at the Grapes hotel, local pub to Rotherham ,disco, always heaving with talent , Anyway don't F*****G laugh but some nice bastards thieved the back wheels and NUTS , Local cops gave me buckled one and my spare , That got me home that night with two wheel nuts all round , Working in Doncaster at the time .I think i must have bought one wheel from the scrap yard !! and used the buckled as a spare

I'm stumped Stu, not a clue!

Meanwhile, back in 1977 when this episode of 'Hazell' was a filmed, we have a pair of dolly birds beating a hasty retreat from an 'executive client's' mews flat in their tastefully modified late Mk1 Austin Cooper, minus bonnet badge but with added Shadowlite tinted glass all round (inc. double glazed W&P style rear quarterlights), Cosmic wheel arch extensions, twin tanks, GKN alloys, a Rolls Royce Regal Red paint job and Euro spec aftermarket nudge bars...

Looks like it's been widened by 6"

Limited edition Mk1 Maxi-Mini!

It's the late John Bonham, drummer of Led Zeppelin from the film The Song remains The Same.

'Hazell And The Maltese Vulture' Stu, first shown on 20/3/78

Aside from Hazell's two green Stags there are some other tasty motors in the series, including a couple of Jensen Interceptors.
