Managed to track down this edition of Mini World with an article about Paddy, got really excited about the number plate on the car they test drove V565 DPN and thought it was Paddy :proud:

But it wasnt >_< ...

Paddy was originally V551 DPN

Anyway for the fellow JCG geeks heres the article

Great read - thanks for that.
Love the red interior - I'm getting my 94 Spi restored at the moment with a custom red interior too

565 is fine. Needs a bit of love as she's been locked in a garage for 3 years.
Can't bring myself to sell.

I'll get back on the road at some point though.

Nice car by the way

Cheers

20k and only 296 miles. Shame I didn't win euromillions.
Doesn't say which number of 25 it is.
Or did I just miss it on the link?
