I believe it says "Once owned by the Countess of Wessex". If you read the Bonham's print it says that she sold it on some years ago

Well if you want to nitpick over detail Mike, my post links to a different article with no links to the Bonham's description.
I just posted the link from my local paper.
Stanley kindly provided the link to the Bonham's full description.

No need to be so pedantic :roll: I was just trying to point out a Minor with an interesting history out to the wider audience.

Makes interesting reading anyway;

in 1988. The car - her first - was used as personal transport before being sold later that same year
until January 1992, by which time its condition had deteriorated to such an extent that it was sold as 'scrap' for just £200.
Seems to have gone downhill quite fast :(

I didn't think that you would get so wound up about it :) I was refering to the caption in the newspaper under the photo of the car.
