My Car of the Motor Show .was ?

Postby irlmin » Fri Jul 21, 2006 6:40 pm

My favourite car of the Motor show was !! Yes a mini . even though We were surrounded by exocita and really seroius new cars as far as I was concerned the real Star was the 'retro' 2000 Mini Seven by Radford , built for a customer after the ad campeign by Marks and Spencer featuring Twiggy etc . Mini had the exterior MK1 treatment and interior featured some ' Laura Ashley ' silk roof lining , full leather retrim , and exterior and dash etc with unique colour and graphics . the visual impact was stunning . I will try to post pics but they are BIG files and I can't seem to reduce them .
