Wee bit of info there if your interested.

i would be very wary of that site. it claims that the classic seven, classic cooper and classic cooper sport were limited editions

they were not !!!

they were the final lineup of production cars.

if that's level of knowledge the creator of that site has, i wouldn't trust it

[dmdangermouse]

Haha, nah I didnt get the designs off there anyway.
Was from a very handy site Rosalind's Mini Sky

Sooo. When can we expect the Anorak guide to everything mini? )

Or an "Ask the Anorak" forum on TMF with a nice photo of you in a flasher mac... Actually maybe not...

there should be a big red button on EVERY post so that we can alert the Anorak and beckon him to come check the facts!!

i just cant understand where some people get these ridiculous ideas from, if they just think about it, or actually read some books then they might get it right.

the cars in question were a special "run out range", not a range of special editions, completely different thing. the last special edition was the "John cooper"

what next, the mayfair as a special edition ???, Issigonis liking the BMW mini ??? oh yeah, we've already had those ones

anyone actually bother to read books about minis ??????

Thanks Taffy, one step closer!!!

[THE ANORAK]

I have it on very good authority (from my mate down the pub) that the sky rose is a rebadged mini city hl!!
