A nice early poster, but £317.00 !!!!!
I can now see where I went wrong. All those years working in the motor trade - rather than my employer paying a few quid into a badly run pension fund I should have just asked for a few posters out of the showroom and BMC boxes from the stores :?
Used to work with a guy years ago whose sister was married to an executive at an airplane manufacturer. He got hired by Boeing and moved out to Washington back in the mid-80s. Being a bored housewife she decided to get a secretarial job and told the company she was working for that she didn't need a salary so much, so they could pay her in stock options or some such alternative. THe company? Microsoft. She ended up a very rich woman!

Same seller appears to have a stack of those sound effect records. That's a pretty unique and fun little bit of ephemera. Mark, maybe you need to get them and add a new section the mk1-conversions site :)

Oh no, we don't have a photo of a LHD mini. Let's just mirror the image and hope no one looks at the number plate...

Crazy money - particularly for a car with quite a few incorrect details and not a particularly early build.

Yes it is, although the number plate has been changed.. I'm thinking the jacket itself is old, the screen printing might be a recent addition :lol:

notwithstanding the fact that KEL236 is the 997 prototype, it wasn't green, mk1 cosmics hadn't been invented and was barely a cooper itself let alone portraying an S!!

For some reason the ebay listing numbers would not work for me as a search.

I dug around and these are links to the pages for anyone interested.
