I think the headlamp rims are from a Wolseley or Riley 1.5, there's a slight 'peak' at the top on some of these and when fitted to Minis the top of the wing is reprofiled by hand to match them. Not keen on them myself but I do like the car itself. Boy would I love a proper Radford Mini... Agree, looks like a 1.5 bezel. Radford was lovely, great interior trim also.......and wind up windows long before Leyland did it, my last Cooper S had them but that was seven years later than that Radford. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were some SAABs (99 and 96 models) participating but they probably started from a different point. I also noticed some mad, brave fool entered a Citroen SM (didn't see that one either). 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alastairq Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 The Pop didn't get much further, sadly [unlike previous years], with the owner blaming the quality of a specialist's products for the cessation. Hmmmmm! 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugd1022 Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 No photos alas as I was driving 4L89 at the time, but for a few days this week there's been a rather lovely Rolls Royce Silver Shadow parked up behind the up slow platform at Leighton Buzzard. Couldn't see the reg' number but the two tone 'silver over dark green' paintjob looked fantastic. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold big jim Posted February 9, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 9, 2019 Really pleased with myself today as I replaced the thermostat on the cooper, I’m not mechanically minded at all so was chuffed with myself that I managed it with no bits left over! also cleared the airlock and while I had the airbox off to do the thermostat I took the K&N induction kit off the convertible and put it on the cooper S, sounds nice combined with the supercharger! getting it in next week for the new brakes to be fitted, quoted £100 labour to fit discs and pads all round which is gonna be a worthwhile spend to be done properly in a matter of hours rather than me make a mess of it and take days! looking forward to getting it out on the road now! 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the only photo I can find of it in the states, looks like it was taken at Burbank Studios in California in '67 or early '68... rumour has it that it was stolen and torched not long afterwards...
