A bit different.

amongst other cars  I have one of those coopers. I have owned many minis over the years. My first two cars were mini vans with a button on the floor to start, no sync in first and one of, what I call, a bus type gear lever (long) ha ha

My first car was a Mini 1000cc red, black roof, G reg (1968 I think) bought in 1977....good car.

ooooh you smoothie  although I did have one of those 1275 Gts  with the squared off front.  It had spot lights - so there - weren't we trendy(paddy hopkirk and all that)
  Wife was driving it one night and the spots came on irregularly etc - cops stopped her - cut through the connections to stop it ha ha  - can you imagine!!!
We had one mini - she used to drive it wearing wellies - don't ask.  Let's say it had a bit of rot!!!!!

Humble missing the car was planned....I think.
