After being converted to the 80s style, by that wonderful series ashes to ashes.. that finished last night ;) (yes i even bought the soundtrack cd). i dont really think an 80s quattro would be in my price range! so are theyre really any good looking 80s minis, from what i know.. 80s interiors where all grey and plastic. so a suggestion for that would be useful. and for exterior.. what wheels?
thanks
jonathan

And right in the middle of the 80's was the 25, with it's varying shades of grey being the ‘in’ colour, a few bright red highlights and 12" steel wheels and hubcaps.

Here's my 85 Mayfair and as far as I know this is standard (it was cream though, not red). The black bits like grill and mirrors were in, not chrome. The interior is brown and flannelly.

Interior and wheels will be up for sale somewhen this year.

i think a set of clean steelies with the mayfair type hubcaps in very clean state would look very 80's!
