    That has also been tried... images.jpg

    And, judging by the number of these on the road and in the air; I'd say that they were just about as successful!

    Cool

    Thankfully that was not a real Mini.....just a modern replica made by a little known German company

    called BMW or something....who knows?

    This however is the real thing: a 1964 Austin Cooper S:

    Tires look a bit smaller on this one. I drove one in England a long time ago.

    Cool

    You're 100% right...Great memory! The original Minis had 10" wheels.
    From Mk.2 (I think) onwards they changed the rubber damper suspension
    to Hydrolastic and the wheel size to 12"
