Collecting the Minis on Sunday now...  sad24:

For some reason it is illegal to put two cars on a recovery vehicle (even tiny ones) and the guy thinks the 1275GT is too low to tow behind the truck...

So the solution...?

"We go first thing Sunday morning - no police about"  lol: lol: lol:

Sorry BM. redface:

Not a bumper in sight....for anything. ::)

Couple of old random mudgards for a Foden truck and various other shite that no one would ever want.
Why do these show stand traders really bother ey?
Rows upon rows of pure unmitigated utter utter tat and rusty shite, some of it unidentifiable with no means of identification even.
They all just stand there scratching their builders bum clevages, whilst beardy weirdy's rummage around amongst all the crap like demented Armadillos muttering to themselves. confused:

Not the best show I've ever been to tbqath. noooo:

There WAS however, about 50/75 classic cars on display, one of which was a fairly tidyish Clubman.

I can now confirm that the bumper IS in fact different to the ordinary Mini, and that the number plate light housing is indeed the same colur as the bodywerk.
The rear light clusters however are, from what I could make out, exactly the same as on the MkII Mini...oblong and bigger than the Mk1.
What's the difference on yours then? rubschin:
