Got an old Mini? Want to hire it out for £500?
Got this from BBC Look East's Mike Liggins today...
I've said I'd ask around - we've got a few 1960s Minis in the club, would be a nice big advert for us but it would mean letting someone else drive your beloved for nearly a month. I've said that if we find one for him he can "Set off" on his World Cup travels from Mini Day. Ron's is an old E reg, what year is that?
Hello!!
It's Mike Liggins from BBC Look East here.
This summer I'm going to be the programme's World Cup reporter and I'm looking to hire an funny/iconic/interesting vehicle.
Last time I used a VW camper van. This time I'm thinking a 60's Mini would be good. A 66 Mini would be even better!
Do you think any of your members would hire out their car?
I'd need it for most of the month that the World Cup is on. And at £500 for that period.. the budget isn't huge.
What do you think?
Regards
Mike

I think Frances Graham's car was from 1966, but I don't know if she is still a member.

Frances is still a member, I have her down as having a '65 tho. Maybe I'll drop her a mail.

I would think long and hard about letting a T.V. company hire mine or a friend's car after working in the industry and seeing what goes on and as for £500 for a month it must be a joke.

It's a genuine email alright but yes, I too would be more than a little nervous about hiring mine to a TV company, let alone a 60s model.

also insurance is a big issue as your cant use it for hire normally.
Re: Got an old Mini? Want to hire it out for £500?
Good point Craig, hadn't thought of that.
You'd think it being the BBC they'd have all this in hand though.... wouldn't they?

Did anyone else see Look East 2 Fridays ago? Mike Liggins found a Mini from some woman in Felixstowe.
A friend of mine has just seen it looking like it was about to be loaded on to the back of an RAC lorry in front of a camera crew. A metaphor for England being out of the World Cup??

What did I say don't trust a T.V. company and for £500 thank god it wasn't one of our club member's car.
