I live in the area, and the truth is they were not prepared for it because this shit has never happened and to a few weeks was thought to be unthinkable.

We had protest in the past, all have been peaceful, did their thing and left the same day.

This was common practice in the American cars in the 50s and 60s.

Only the Daihastu engined ones, at which point they were no longer called Mini.

Innocenti Mini 120L

And seems this beige was their chosen color for all their brochure shots.

The care pictured is just a Innocenti Mini DeTomaso, no turbo. This version had a 4-cylinder 1275 A-Series engine from the Mini with 71 hp.

In 1983 the Innocenti moved to Daihatsu 3-cylinder 993cc engines,  and the Innocenti DeTomaso Turbo made its debut.

The Turbo was rated 72hp.

The two cars have small bodywortk…

I bought a Fiat 500 Abarth and a Fiat 500 Sport.... both are worth as much as a mouldy sandwich so no one wants to steal them.

Technically the quattro is a Group 4 car that was transfered to Group B. The only real Gr.B Audis are the short wheel base “Audi Sport quattro and the S1 (evolution), and the evolution Rally spec long wheel base A1 version.

That’s not a Moke! It’s a Choke (Chinese Moke)

Next installement, the Mini Trac from Austalia

This brochure was for european export markes, dated 1970.

Apparently it’s an eastern Canadian thing.

awww man! how did I miss this. Costco run in my Mini a few years ago. Not visible a case of 32 Coke cans, a bag of 4 liters of milk.

The trivia was a lot of fun! Looking forward to this week’s one!

I also remembered why I recognized the Warsawa! A few were in Taxi service in Colombia and I remember them from when I was a kid.

Hi David,

I sent an email yesterday, but have not heard back, not sure if that’s the proicedure. The email I used will hold “spam” email for 24 before letting me know they have something. Just want to make sure I don’t miss it.

reported this to you Jason a long time ago and I have been waiting for this article ever since. The new RAM does the same thing. Why? I have no clue since the RAM has clearly two bars, yet both go amber in turns.

This is as bad as a 2015 Mercedes B class that clearly has the amber bulb in the housing, I know because…

I don’t care what people think.. The early 1275 GT with 10" Rostyles is downright sexy.

Less electronics and luxury items, ergo more reliable.

But this is not a Range Rover, just a Land Rover

Well, Mercedes did it first in 1938 with the G5

I love old brochures, I have quite a collection myself.

Some time ago I decided to scan, convert to PDF and post my Mini brochure collection on my website for the world to see.
