The Mini 60 years

The new mini is bigger than the old Maxi

Mini Prototype Austin based

Morris Mini Prototype

we had one of these. We went camping in it mid winter.I've never been as cold

Remember the add showing five tall men alighting from a mini? One was John Cleese.

There was plenty of room in the back of those minis'.

So I've been told.

Yes leg room

Or, legs room?

Aye room for 6

I agree AM

This was my collection together with a blue convertible . But I sold them all about 4 years ago .

This was the other one .

OOoowwww a collector in our midst.  Nice Nordic

This was another one we had ,I know its not a mini .

I got shut of one of them a few years back before it terminated me, it was a split windscreen that had a max speed of 55 and was unsafe in motorway traffic, oh and it rained in

The moggie and the 65 mini cooper were nails to drive . Uncomfortable and noisy . BUT , at the time we thought they were great , 'cos we didn't know better . And now we have the modern car , usually with no character style or what's that French phrase , no .........................( I still got pleasure out of driving them though ).

I use an MGB now and can still give a lot of modern cars a run for their money

Some cracking pics.

Like most people my first car was a mini, a bright red model, 850cc engine, with sliding windows and outside hinges.

I used to want to relive my yoof by buying a reconditioned VW Beetle,

but the fact is modern cars are more reliable, more comfortable, better equipped and

much safer than old models.

My first one was a moggie..I couldn't wait to get rid of it..now I'd love one.
