Great selection Villain - thanks for posting That Ogle Mini still looks plug ugly to me. Something of a rarity though.... Gene.

Cheers Gene.... by Ogle do you mean the white one with rectangular Cibie headlamps...? It's actually a cut down Minisprint, a '67 so I believe and probably sold new in London by the same Stewart & Ardern dealership my S came from. Ogles are just as rare but look very different to the 'sprints, they have glassfibre shells with quad headlamps and a rounded 'sports coupe' rear end. Villain

I'd seen photos of it before and saw it described as an "Ogle" mini but I know that you know your Mini stuff inside out so I'll stand corrected there Gene.

Ah got you Gene, I can see it's misdiscribed in the title I still don't know enough about Minis to fix automatic gearboxes...! I thought I might have had enough of the 'Mini bug' by now after nigh on thirty years but I can't seem to give them up. Seeing some beautiful '60s Minis last weekend (and the weekend before at Gaydon Mini Festival) made me realise how much I want another Mk1. Villain

There's something about that cut-down Mini and the angle that you've taken the picture hints at a scaled down land crab! Thanks for posting the pics up Villain, looks like a good day out. Sam.

Looks like someone has taken an angle grinder to an Allegro.
