I remember the road test on the 1100 auto then. They said it was "softer" than the old model and a bit slower but still fun to drive.

Wow, don't come across many 1100's. It is the original engine?

so 1975 should be badged BL rather than Austin or Morris?

I used to have an MG badged/grilled 1100. I don't think I've ever seen another one in NZ.

The Riley would be rare too these days.

Good that it's gone, those soap box front Minis are fucking ugly.
You need an early Cooper with all the Monte Carlo gear and stuff

Get something a wee bit different dude, I known so many people who have owned the soap box ones.

That would be a 'clubman' young man.

I won't call them that, it's too cool a name for such a heinous atrocity.

I've got a copy of a BLC advert far the cuntman when it came out, something about "we have used all our best engineers and completely redesigned the Mini"
