Okay so all of Sir Alec's creations will be involved, but it's obvious the Mini will have the monopoly there and it seems the BMW version isn't welcome too!  ;)

Well he only created the engine for the Allegro I think?  :?

Anyway there'll probably only be a handful of those present and they'll just be the remains consisting of a few flakes of rust in a carrier bag!  ;)

15th is a Committee meeting day but maybe we can deal with matters arising quickly and come home via Gaydon; especially if I use the silver car.

Well there was quite a phenomenal turn out of Mini's after all, so I'm sure Issigonis would have been pleased!

Nothing wrong, your photo's are great the way they are, if you look at the M2M2006 Photo's for instance you'll see what I mean. Some sort of copyright nonsense I suspect.

Yes I see what you mean but I wonder if that's really necessary. :shock:
