Eastern Counties Motor Club Historic Cine Archive: Mini Scrap Book
Posted: Tue Dec 24, 2024 11:23 pm
"Those of us of a certain age would as kids had a scrap book, purchased for a few pence from the corner shop. Made from coarse recycled grey paper with a distinctive smell (no not the shop, the book) these would enthusiastically be filled with cuttings of racing cars sourced from scrounged motoring magazines. So here is a modern equivalent of that scrapbook of photos, but with a bit of cine film. All the photos have a Mini connection although some are rather tenuous. Equally they all have a link to Norfolk or Suffolk or part of another county which is very close."
