I didn't realise that these came in grey. This is a bit of a strange one. I have one brochure that covers this model which says it was only available in three colours but doesn't specify which three! There's another brochure on Flickr that clearly says that Carmine Red, White and Steel Grey were the colour options. Yet there seem to be several blue ones out there. Perhaps the grey colour was unpopular and was replaced, or supplemented, by blue. Remspoor and ProgRocker 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's very tidily restored but too much chintz and colour coded tat stuck on that it doesn't need. All that's missing is a vinyl printed MINI on the boot in some modern font like comic sans.

Not quite so glamorous in close up. Also were Minis really made like this? No wonder they fell to bits after a couple of salty winters. Great guy Issigonis - but really? We had a Mini in the 60's - subframe fell off and my Grandad had a huge row with the garage. 25k... FakeConcern 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
