Hi Steve,
That is all the way from New Zealand, I recall seeing him doing this during more than one visit, the last I believe in 1970. It was fun to watch and he was our icon as we all had Mini's/Elf's

Now that was great fun. I was watching it with a huge grin on my face  I wouldn't like any of mine to be driven like that though !

Fantastic - The Master at work! he makes it look so easy doesn't he! I expect the car was a "demonstrator" which someone later bought thinking they'd got a low mileage "bargain". Then wondered why the tyres and gearbox were worn out .
I remember wearing out the front tyres on my first Cooper in 1500miles.......

We know of at least one car that was used in this "mini-spinning" but it is almond green/OEW, so not the one in this clip. Knowing NZ back then, it was more than likely a dealer's own car or a customer's as we didn't have spare cars for demonstrators.
