Local classic car show

In June, I went to a local classic car show and to my surprise, there was a classic Mini there. The owner was shocked to see another mini owner show up. He and I talked for a while and he decided to pull his 1975 classic next to my r56. What a contrast.

Check out the pics. He calls it the "Green Hornet"

very cool...........

The contrast is even greater with the R56 you have. It's interesting how much smaller the classic looks in the left hand photo compared to the perspective in the right. I'm awaiting the arrival of a 79 and plan to park it and my R53 end to end in my one car garage; there aren't many cars that could do that probably!

That is a very nifty looking classic! I love the color scheme. Your R56 looks nice as well .

I had a classic Mini behind me at the GWR run and was also surprised at the size diff. I also noticed there is more room in back seat of the classic!
