I have to admit I can never remember the ADO numbers either because there were a few different ones for the original Mini and Mini Clubman etc.

So was it ADO15?


Yes. ADO15 for the saloon (ADO stands for Austin Design Office)

it was changed in October 1969 to ADO20 when the Mk3 shell was introduced with all the major changes and the coopers were ADO50

i didn't realise it was a girl until it spoke! even then I thought "hmm...that boy's a bit high pitched...NO! WAIT! It has long hair!"

the mini kid was crazy as, I can so see him as an old man driving a mini and drinking whiskey that he's just poured himself out of his mini bar and then he stops driving mr bean stylee, sits in his chair in the back and starts driving again by controlling everything with string and bricks!

I can see him controlling a mini with his mind, nevermind string and bricks .. He's a genius ..

I reckon he'll invent something.

Like, remote controlled double sided sticky tape, dispensed from a conical flask.

a conical flask?! that's not very practical, now what you want is a burette, they have taps and everything :D

i really see him turning into an eccentric old drunk when he's 20, white hair, bushy eyebrows, ear and nose hair and all!
