I know some of you won't really care, but I popped into my new job today, and was told there was a mini in the paint booth, being prepared for a new lease of life. It was a german import Cooper Sport, finished in nightfire red, so of course, I went to speak to the painter to praise the car, who told me this was his bosses car, and he buys import minis, does them up, and sells them of to America, this one was destined to go to Indianapolis. He was telling me that the owner has one mini what's very special and worth quite a bit, I was expecting to hear he owned a Mk1 mini or something, but no, he actually owns John Lennons old mini, and though it's not up for sale, he takes offers, sooo, who wants a historic car? He's rejected a £60k offer for it.. Smile
