Seen two Minis in Greystones about a half hour ago. One was a 87-WW-****, white with grey bumpers and steelys. Looked very like a Designer but it was an 87. The other one was a pink one, 93-WW****

Seen this one in my mates estate in Carrickmines

Seen this one in the mothers friends estate in Rathmicheal

Image

Seen this one in Topaz in Bray, it's a 1960, all original interior, Irish, and just finished full resto so clean is an understatement. Was talking to him for about 15 mins. Very nice man.
