My head is not so politically correct at the moment. Should not the drivers of the open door thing and the Maxi swap?

That pic is in the mini book (published early 80's) think she was a miss GB/England also a hostess on the Russel harty show I think.

Lovely model in the Mini pic is Joanne Latham, now 59.

I am going to write another warning on this forum about not searching for a photo of the women under discussion.

The other one can be found in the Joke thread.

or did you mean the model? If so , the fact she’s a yoga teacher in The Bahamas 

now, I’m guessing one still would.

Distinctive headlamp styling on the first batch of cars. I don't think any production line ones had these headlamps.

Not just the headlamps, the slotted wheels and one piece windows on the front doors. I’ve seen pictures of cars with some of these features , but as you say  only the first few press and publicity cars had the square lamps.

The early press releases refer to them as Westminster 3-Litres too, in fact I’m sure I’ve got an Autocar somewhere with the cover story “ The new Westminster”.

I can't confirm this either but I know I heard a rumour about fifteen years or so that there was a black example surviving somewhere in Gloucestershire with single TV screen headlights and the diamond pleated door trims I've only ever seen in an early brochure.

Anyway I came here to post this. My late Uncle Jeremy's band Relic outside Lexden Manor, Colchester in early 1975. He's in the front passenger seat.

If the wings had sloped down in the same way as the bonnet lid, how might the front end, headlights and grille have looked?

After that band went sideways he was in another called Pony. I know... Here they are about 1977,Jeremy on the left and his brother Giles, later to briefly taste fame as half of The Cleaners from Venus, on the right.

This could almost be Crème Brulée...

He later moved to France and was in a band there called Creme Anglais within the last fifteen years or so. Charente-Maritime area.
