Found these when I was trawling through some old photos some 75% of the negatives survived our fire. I scanned them for hours using a small stand alone scanner from local Camera Shop in Derby.

This was my first Mini circa 1966 I liked the Lotus JPS colours of the day so had it painted with a silver top half to give it that old fashioned 2-tone look.

Then in 1970 I bought my first 1275 S it was a beast painted in Rootes Lagoon Blue, next to it is my mates 998 Cooper that was sprayed in RR Regal Red metallic. Photo was taken in Clowne on Wilson Avenue.
