Well Lord knows who they're supposed to appeal to but obviously not the purists!
Mind you, ONE of their 1960s Minis does actually seem to be (broadly) based around a 1960s Mini!!
Terrible grammer/spelling in their ads too. "Heritage Approved".....It makes you wonder doesn't it.....
Not worth getting angry over Norton, just pour another drink, laugh out loud and be thankful you don't own them.

I suppose the Simpsons one might appeal to Bart (aka Mini4Ever)

Poor Norton. Still the pub only gives you hangovers.....so I discovered this morning !!!! Owning those cars would have an adverse medical effect too I think
Any of you doing L2B tomorrow ? I will be on TVMC club stand with my Flame....everyone in our convoy has got 1275 + and I refuse to scream the nuts off one of my 850's to keep up with them !

Unfortunatley I still don't have my engine back from MED yet....... No L2B... No Beaulieu..... That makes me angry as well....
I was only looking on ebay to cheer myself up..... not a single head turner!!!!
Makes me Mad!

No L2B for me either Sal.
Norton, are you not going to Beaulieu then? I thought we were all going to get to see the Brocade pants

| Head turner means you turn your head in the opposite direction and it makes you feel a whole lot better

Very good! I actually quite liked the V8 mini until I saw the exhausts... the rear and the interior.....
The Ford Pop is great.... i love the fact he goes on about how great the supercharger is and then he updates the listing to say it hasn't actually got one!! Classic!
You have cheered me up - Thanks guys

Not sure but it's got a 'tuck roll interior' whatever that is

HEAD TURNER?? It's got me baffled Andrew - It takes more than a metallic salmon pink paintjob to create a REAL headturner doesn't it?.... At least the seller says that he hasn't touched the interior yet...so that's probably a good thing. As for the pick-up  ....Words fail me - and that's unusual. Viva HA rear lights are they? And yes, what happens if you puncture a rear tyre ?.......
Beaulieu?? Well I do hope to, though not in my Mini which is nothing like finished . I'm medically "unfit to drive" currently, following an operation and a lot of drug taking but hope to be back to normal (?) by then. Time will tell.

| Isn't a "tuck roll" something you take to work to eat at lunchtime?
