2001 - Y Reg Mini Cooper

[Mr Peel]

There was a good line-up of Y-platers at the Gaydon Mini and Metro Day last weekend. Hopefully a decent turnout at Beaulieu too, but I can't make it this time.

Yes, we used to tut at these back in the classic days, but we were young...

My R60 Cooper S has put me onto the modern brand in a big way but I'll always love older stuff most. Increasingly convinced I need a pre-facelift R50 in my life.

We didn’t realise that was on, Lizzie was gutted as she’d have taken Stella up. You should see her now, looks like a brand new car, even has period Lex Bexleyheath dealer sticker in the window.

Beautiful.

Being picky, but a set of pre-2001 font plates from Fancy Plates would be the final touch

Great minds. I’ll get a photo, but Lizzie got some pre 2001 plates made using the original dealer rear as a template.
