This was at my car club Wednesday - never seen it before. tags read "NOTAMINI" Didn't get to meet the owner. A few years ago I would have dismissed one of these as B*tt ugly but it was lovely! Pristine too. I had a friend in high school with one - hers had the cool speedo that rotated, this was conventional but no less pretty.
 
Amongst us British car freaks at the pizza restaurant I worked at as a young lad were 4B's,1 BGT,my Cortina, and an Austin America.
He loved it, I kind of smirked at it.
 
There is one sitting on a used car lot a few miles from my house. I must say I was tempted to buy it. The hydrolastic suspension system needed to be recharged since it was sitting pretty low and they (the car lot) thought they had a Aston Martin as they wanted $3,000 for it.
It is still sitting there if anyone is <span style="text-decoration: line-through">crazy</span> interested.
 
$3K?!?! Were ya wearin' a Rolex? :smirk:
 
Right you are doc.... I would be doing them a favor by taking it off their lot for $200!
 
I'd think <span style="font-style: italic">they</span> should pay <span style="font-style: italic">you</span> just to make it disappear! :jester:
