    D333 at Crewe in 1972...

    No but it is very similar, looking at the rectangular badge on the front wing I'd say it was a Radford job, Peter Seller's 'wickerwork' Mini was done by Hooper and had a lot more extras. He did have a Radford Cooper S a bit later on which he gave to Britt Ekland for her birthday in October '65, it was dark blue with a red interior and had the hatchback conversion too.

    Just found these lurking in the hard drive, possibly a Hooper Motors / Harold Radford promotion of some sort with a nicely modded Mk1 Austin Cooper 997 or 998... The wee Min looks very toylike in this one...

    Just Like Honey - The Jesus & Mary Chain (J&MC trivia fact - when on their first US tour the band were booked into a small bible belt venue, the guy booking them thought they were a gospel group, they didn't go down well apparently!)

    This popped up on a P5 facebook group yesterday, in Warrington and in the same family ownership since it was new, looks beyong hope at first glance but I think it could be salvagable, it's an early V8 version too... The 'Burnt Grey' paintwork and hand painted coachlines look original, quite remarkable really as most have been partially or fully restored by now. Even if it is beyond saving the stainless steel brightwork and glass could find a new home.

    Photo c/o Paul Robinson, Salopshire in 1987, the occasion was a local promotion named 'Ready, Teddy, Go' where children could travel free if they had a teddy bear with them...

    Brief but enjoyable clip of actor Paul McGann tooling about in his beloved P5B Coupe, bought with his first paycheck when working on 'Withnail & I'... https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=petrolicious+rover+p5b+paul+mcgann&&view=detail&mid=09720630E3FD68FC1B7809720630E3FD68FC1B78&&FORM=VRDGAR

    D7624 at Park End in August '71... 25 223 and 25 306 at Snozell in July '74... Unidentified example on Westbury shed... 25 282 at Leamington Spa on (probably) a Washwood Heath - Banbury / Hinksey tripper, 19th August 1975, photo c/o Andy Hoare... 25 080 on down clay hoods at Bodmin Road in August '79... 25 223 again, this time at Truro in July '78... Another of the Laira batch coming down the spur from Liskeard at Coombe Junction in the '70s...

    From a facebook classic Mini group, Longbridge in 1974...

    A bit left field this one - a screen grab from the old TV series 'Adam Adamant Lives!' filmed down the tube in 1966... And in complete contrast here's Edinburgh Waverley in the '60s, photo by G.Hall…

    If you hadn't said where that was I'd never have guessed despite signing the road! Lots of vegetation on both sides of the line there now. I remember further east seeing eight 25s lined up at Croft Sidings one Sunday morning in 1981, not sure why they'd been dumped there but it was quite unusual even then.

    25 223 at rest in the dock at Snozzell, July '74...

    25 063 in the clutches of the grim reaper at Swindon Works, 15th February 1983...

    The Jap Mini auto is provisionally sold as of today to a nice chappie from Sutton Coldfield, the relief is palpable! Time to start perusing the for sale ads again...

    Another random find...
  24. Rugd1022
    Bit of a random find this one, I was searching for period photos of Rover P5s when this turned up, Phil the Greek on a Royal visit to Coventry c.1962 during the complete remodelling of Coventry station with what appears to be a temporary entrance set up behind...
