hello all

i am doing a presentation at work about mini's and one of the headers i have done is celebrity owners. i was wondering if you could all help me with who owned them and as much info as possible about the model. i know its a lot to ask but it would be much appreciated.

Cheers

Taffy is clued up on this stuff. There's also a few video clips knocking about like the BMW 50th anniversary stuff "a wheel at each corner".

All the Beatles - George Harrison's with a funky paint job and Ringo's with a hatch back conversion to carry drums.

Peter Sellers - mock wicker paint job.

Mark Bolan died in one.

Since Mike reminded me of Spike Milligan - he also did Mini adverts, check Youtube

Oooh Mick Jagger had one (how did I forget that one?)

Steve McQueen owned and raced several, Enzo Ferrari loved them. John Cooper might have had one! Tom Hanks has some and insists on getting one to use whenever he comes over here to work. Jay Leno must have one or two.
