HCK88G 1275S

I owned this car from around 1980 to 1984.

Before I bought it the car was put, at some speed, through an Estate Agent's shop window in the centre of Clitheroe...in the middle of the night. There was a woman in the passenger seat who was (allegedly) the wife of a local police officer. Needless to say, the driver wasn't a member of the local constabulary...so he made a sharp exit. Unfortunately in his haste he failed to realise he'd left the tax disc on the floor of the shop! Big mistake.

I think the car eventually went to a dealer in Bolton(?). Have you got any pics or do you know where it is now...?

Good thread Steve. The ones i can remember the reg. marks for are...

9311 PX Mini Minor
SVE 102K Mk3 Mini 1000
UDG 162H Mk3 Mini 1000
LMR 471F Mk2 Cooper
WAD 806J Mini Marcos
HMX 494N Mini Pickup
RMC 277E Mk1 Cooper S

And the one's i need to dig out the photo album to find out what they were...

A Mk2 'S', another MK2 Cooper, a Mk2 Mini, 2 Mini Vans, 2 more Mini Pickups and 2 more MK3 Minis.

So that makes 16 in total , compared to your 20 , although there could be a few others that i've temporarily forgotten about!

Cheers,
Niall.
PS Anyone know the whereabouts of RMC 277E? Think the bloke i sold it to broke it and DVLA site shows it hasnt been taxed since '87 but it would be great if it has survived..

Some of mine are:

WPB 376 M 1000
OUT 673 G MK2 1275 S
HFF 83 F MK1 850
TKU 133 1071S
XFV 445 "Speedwellified" 1152
BRT 152 B Supercharged traveller
ENJ 809 C Moke
YVJ 137 MK1 850
5842 MF Sprint

You see, I'm a lightweight really when it comes to Minis.

There are a few other ratters too, but I can't think of the numbers off hand.

Go on Rich, see if you can do a list of yours

Yep car went to the late Bob Brookes who later ran Mini Bits from bolton. When my dad bought it , it was black with a white roof and had a Madadash in it. Originally snowberry white/ black.

Smoke Grey, sorry got your name wrong! Steve and 1071 was nearly right eh?
XLV 127J was the last Mk 3 'S' that Liverpool police had and was the driving school car I believe. Belonged to Darryl Swift of the Wirral who was a civilian driving instructor for the police. Believe he owned it mid nineties and that it is still around.
