You talking about the one that they featured in a Lottery advert, and one shot in the advert was the lottery winner in Blackpool, can't remember why he was in Blackpool now, was it purple?!

[Dan]

No, I am not looking for this

car.

ROVER MINI LIMO.

It's red.

Like I said,

it's not stretched or anything it's just luxurious

Some of you must have been into Mini's back in '97.
It is hard to find good photo's of, I've been looking for ages.

[Jammy]

Mini Limo ok so the pic is a bit C**p, but i think this explains what you are looking for a bit better, will keep looking.

[Jammy]

Another site Number 48. this what you are looking for?!

[Dan]

YES!

That's the one.

I could only find the first photo, I hadn't seen the second one.

So now that we know what we're looking for, I need better pictures of the interior and dash.

Thankyou Jammy, diamond geezer.

[Jammy]

Thank god I found it, have given up looking tonight after 15 minutes, we look again 2mo at work when I get bored, prob by 9:05!!

[TimS]

ouch thats expensive! and i cant beleive that purpel mini doesnt snap in half

[Jammy]

I've seen that purple mini, it was at the Motor Show at the NEC, Birmingham in the late 90s, can't remember when exactly, blooming amazing it was!!

[CharlieBrown]

I know exactly what you mean and Im sure I have a picture of it but I have no idea where????

[Boab]

Any pics found yet Dan, as this looks interesting.

[Dan]

Well, I've been looking for years and haven't found anything decent myself which is why I opened it up on here. So what you see here is all I got I'm afraid.

I may just go ahead and start building though, see where it gets me.

Have you tried e-mailing the Cooper garage?!

[Dan]

Just try to get John Cooper Garages to admit they ever had anything to do with real Mini's! After John died Mike set about removing everything to do with original Mini's from their catalogue as fast as he possibly could. There was a massive parts sale and a lot of stuff thrown out, and I think the only things they sell now are over-mats and gearknobs. It's BMW only.

[Jammy]

Really?! OMG, I didn't realise that! That must of been a money orientated move! Cheeky B********!! Have you tried posting on MiniOwners.co.uk? Theres a few more people dating back to the mini haydays around there?

Sorry for mentioning another forum, I was thinking of TMF the whole time!!

[Madmax]
