donnington mini 20 photos

Post by guru_1071 »

every so often there is a good thread on tfm.

well here is one, a guy has put a load of b&w photos up from the mini 20 celebrations in 1979.

some great cars, and very period photos.

mark went, so possibly in the background you will see him in a tight shirt & open necked trousers!!!!
