I think you will find that like many of the Minis in the States, they seem to have adopted log books which massage their age a bit.

NOT a Mini, but interesting,
I spotted a 02-WX-72xx Classic Beatle today in Palmerstown. Are they still being built in Mexico?

Spent a very enjoyable hour this evening visiting Martin Murray in Croom, Co. Limerick who has an absolutely gorgeous early Moke. It has many unusual features. First of all, it's a local car with an SIU Limerick reg. It's also grey from new and was that way from new. Apparently according to the Moke Club, it's the only original dove grey Moke left. I have a photo of it somewhere and I'll post it when I find it.

Martin does crash repairs but when I called in tonight there were several 60's & 70's Fords and VWs in for restoration and he will consider work on Minis. Martin can be contacted at 061-397424
