Does anyone know what happened to the mini that was on skins. I know it was up for sale around this time last year as it was on ebay around the same time mine was. It was listed as being somewhere down in Devon.

The reg plate was b349 sdb

Anyone got any info?

Maybe it's being restored then. Seeing as its off the road and the colour seem to have changed.

No doubt it's changing it's identity for fear of being noticed in the streets. Well The Beatles grew beards you know.

The one from Big Bro is owned by MGM cars. That minis been on TV quite a few times.

I don't think the same could be said for the skins one though. When I saw it on ebay it was in quite a state. It was a rebuild thats for sure. So my guess is someone's bought it and is restoring it. Hence the colour change and it being off the road.
