Saw this Clubby in the Cotswald Motoring Museum last year. It's a brilliant museum, well worth a visit :thumbsup:

These two where at the 'Cars Of The Stars' museum in keswick, but the museum has recently closed and both the cars have been sold :cry:
But there is of course the 'Goodbye Pork Pie' Mini still in New Zeland, I am currently in contact with the owners to see whether they still have it.[attachment=130988:Goodbye Pork Pie Mini 1.jpg]

Something a little odd about the engine in this one. Is there any light that can be shed on it?

The blue mini has an engine from the 9X prototype era. The DX engine. The 1 litre engine could kick out 60bhp!
