Minor Details Pics.

Post by arttidesco »

A couple of months ago i was stumbling around Bristol's Ashton Court in the relative darkeness after the balloon glow when I came across a lilac Minor 1 000 000 000. With the aid of a lighter I discerned the car had been restored in Taunton after being found a non runner in the wrong colour.

I only had my mobile on me and this was the only picture I got of it, on the way home I thought it would be interesting to start a thread called Minor Details featuring photographs of ... Minor details ... you get the picture I hope.

Seeing the lilac Minor 1 000 000 000 on the MMOC's web page inspired me to give it a go so I hope you'll join me in posting photo's of just the little details that make the Minor rock.[frame]Image[/frame]

I saw this one earlier today and have just found out Bluemels http://www.oldclassiccar.co.uk/vintage/bluemels.htm was a number plate manufacturer not the supplier as I originally thought :roll:
