272 original mile 1968 Mk1 Morris Minor-Mini Super De Luxe, it's been flipped for profit a couple times, and you can either buy it and do that, OR get a brand new Mini to enjoy that no one has ever screwed with, abused, or broken


originally delivered to a Mrs. Jones who had purchased the car with the intent of learning how to drive. When she decided to give up on driving, the car was parked away in the garage


still has the cardboard dealership test drive mats on the floor


the restoration company that is purchasing it to re-sell, hasn't yet announced what the cost will be, or if they'll simply bring it to an auction instead

Police dashcam video of chasing a 1967 Morris Minor through Bradford England... it got away!



A stolen 1967 Morris Minor narrowly avoided crashing when the driver ran a red light at a busy junction in Bradford.

Police footage shows the car driving in the Fagley area of the city on Saturday before swerving right across traffic.

West Yorkshire Police said it was stolen in Ravenscliffe and found abandoned 45 minutes later on land off Harrogate Road.

What the new Mini coupe looks like





Quite a variety of Rolls Royce
And Lotus changed a lot too
Best display









 above, best cultural interior that fits the car show
 Quite a variety of Bentleys too


British cars that were at the show, Alpine, Austin, Delorean, Jaguar, Rolls Royce, Land Rover, Berkley, MG, Morris, TVR, Cooper, Triumph, Rootes, Morgan and maybe a couple I can't think of... but the number of Britsh built cars is surprising... and if you wonder why the new Mini is at the British car show... when it is a BMW... and you'd think German, well, it's built in Oxford Britian. Has 20 some percent of it's parts from France too.
