Classic Mini Spottings

This is the thread of those random, obscure sightings of classic minis. It's for things like this



Basically any random sighting of a mini where you did not expect it (don't post your pictures of your mini in front of the grocery store. lol).

There's a couple of burnt up classic shells sitting on the street after a raid in the movie blood diamond. I'll have to request that one on netflix this week to get a screen shot of them.

We got the kids a DVD of a couple of the Disney "Air Bud" movies (the ones made for DVD release.) In one the bad guys drive a Mini Countryman.

Theres a couple of mini mokes in James Bond, Moonraker.

Speaking of video games I bought a pc game that's based on the Michael Cain Italian Job. I also found a ps2 game Top Gear Dare Devil that has a mini on the front cover. Both games are awful. I couldn't even play the italian job game long enough to get the mini.

Not really a "real" spotting, but wanted to get the word out...

The Barrett-Jackson auction is playing right now on the Speed Channel. Not sure if it's live or not, but...

...they say they're soon going to be auctioning off a 1962 Austin Mini Jolly. 809 original miles. Supposedly only 3 were made.

Should be fun to watch!

The '62 Austin Mini Jolly was SWEET! Barrett-Jackson auction.........the car was Surf Blue or similar classic Mini color with white top, door openings on both sides of the car, front and rear...........................only no doors, like the Fiat Jolly.

Similar to the Fiat as it has wicker seats too

Just 809 original miles!
