Minis in the rain at Himley Hall in June 2013, I can here them fizzing away as I type this...

Mia Farrow in London in 1967...

Our local rag's picture of the day is from 29 July 1970 with Austin Mini Mk2 PLJ2G parked outside WHO-DAT in Old Christchurch Road, Bournemouth. Just a few yards up from the Austin dealers, Imperial Motors. PLJ2G is still on the system but not been taxed since February 1992. https://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/news/ ... like-this/

Cardiff early 1980s

Makinen’s and Altonen’s Cooper Car Co. racer after it rolled in the Sandown Park 6 hr race in Australia on the 25-11-64. Their winning chances gone up in flames!

Rog PLJ2G this one went through my hands I think, it was bought from the original owner after she had run up the back of another car, we put a new front on it and flogged it on.

How can a mini be made so ugly. Any idea where the photo was taken, Spain?

Yep, or as we used to call them, fugly or fuglies. Looks like one of those trout-pout actresses

Reminds me of this...

Yep....., that's what I was thinking of. But to digress a bit on this windy Friday morning. Anyone remember that lovely good looking actress, Leslie Ash who had some of this pouty lip treatment in the late 90's? Except that it went horribly wrong and she ended up with lips like cigarette rollers, just a tad more pouty than 66 travellers fish!!!!!

Nice non Cooper Mk2...
