Went to a local Mini show today, snapped a few pics so I thought I'd upload them 
First pic, and it isn't a Mini  . The significance of this E-Type Jag though, is that it's the very car that appeared in The Italian Job:

Yeah we loved the white one! The engine in the blue one is a 1.8T I believe, not sure what power it was putting out though.

TBH I didn't take many pics at all . There were some incredibly mint concours classic Mini's that I never got pics of. There was one that was bought brand new, trailored home from the dealer, stored for 3.5 years, then trailered to MOT's etc, basically it had barely seen the road.

True, I would assume it's a 225 engine, then with a simple remap you're looking at 265bhp (ish). Nice  .

It's at Himley Hall, just outside of Dudley. I hadn't seen it advertised either, I was told by a mate who has a Mini. It's only down the road from me and £7 entry, can't complain
