I am going out to Cali just for that... March 29!

Hey Meno, got March 29th open?

 

Oooh, that was weird. I just received Dminis post while I was on the MMW website getting the dates and logistics so that I might get a Cars and Coffee in.

hmmm...March 29th doesn't look good on account that I have Easter break (5 days off from work) with the kids just prior that date. Shoot...that won't work but I'm still kicking around the whole idea of So-Cal in the summer for MMW. We usually do a Nor-Cal coastal sweep to escape the ridiculous heat of the valley in July so I just don't know...the wife will tell me I'm sure.

 

I'd like to see them all race. it would be pretty close between the two super cars and that mini

 

That picture was actually taken at Santana Row in San Jose. Our sort of "Cars and Coffee" for the San Francisco bay area. During MMW 2008, the organizers have planned a run to the Cars and Coffee (6am!!) and the mini is to be honored. Expect to see 50+ show up!!

Yeah, that was my leaning but unless I fly solo it doesn't look likely I regret to say.

 

Greetings!
I heard over the years that Enzo Ferrari actually owned (3) Mini Coopers which he absolutely loved to drive in the twisty hills behind where he resided. I heard that although he could afford to own virtually any car, he actually preferred his Minis! Mini Estate

 

It would be great to get some written or photographic evidence of this. Wonder if any of these cars ended up on eBay...

 

Is this really Enzo Ferrari's Mini?







Could it really be this car?

There are some differences, but if it's one of two who knows...

 

Enzo's Cooper 'S' - the plot thickens
"It did take a while before the promised pictures of the presumed Mini owned by Enzo Ferrari came in, but they have arrived after all. And I can tell you they appear to be in the favour of the car's history.
From what I understand from the paperwork, the car, an Austin Cooper 'S' with chassis number 552189, was imported to Italy on 12 December 1964. It was issued on a Modena number plate '116703-MO' on 29 January 1965. The price for which it was sold was 1.825.000 Italian Liras and the owner is clearly described as 'Ing. Ferrari comm. Enzo' at an address in Modena. The car kept the Modena number until 14 March 1970 when it was handed over to the next owner, a Carlo Navone from Turin who paid 500.000 Liras for it. As far as I can see there is no mention of a paint colour...."
