....???

I think it might be this one...

Looks like a Radford here outside Rod Stewart's gaff in Windsor in the early '70s...

wasn't the 1300 estate his mothers?

its in quite a few photos outside his house.

I suppose the mini might be britt ecklands?????

another photo outside his house



my dad owns this car now, fortunately the white wall tyres are long gone

still has the heavily tinted black glass, but only the rear window is still fitted, rest is all wrapped up in card - it would look quite 'pimp' if it was fitted!

Cranbourne Court is right next door to Fernhill Park, where 1AXD the Vanden Plas mini originated.
Arthur and Irene Waite used to live in Fernhill Park and the mini would have still been there around that time.

Looks like a Simca 1301/1501 to me.

And now some the past in the Netherlands

TRUST YOU!

Cowley Technical Publications Department - 1965

Must be Nuffield Press just off the Cowley Road Mab. I made it my challenge to find the girl who featured on the light blue Mini Cooper sales brochure and went to see them at 'The Press' as it was known around here. Really great info and super leads and some of the other photos that were taken on the photo shoot. It's a shame I hesitated because they closed it down later. I wonder where all of the zillions of archive material from that place alone went, But traced the photographer and agency and later, the young girl.

Note the disc shields, hydro unit, water pump and other odds and sods on the table.

Great looking car wasn't it for the '69 Tour de France , one of my favourites, shame it ended up a crumpled wreck a few years after that photo was taken.

Damn shame that... wasn't sure if the pic I posted was taken in '69 or not, thought it might have been a later shot.

Couple more oldies.....
