1967 Austin Mini

1967 Austin 1800 Mk I

A fine find on rare sunny October day.

UPDATE: I finally got around to checking the email. The owner informed me that this is a '67, not a '65. Thank you Martin!

1983 Austin Mini

1976 Austin Mini 1000

A break from big American iron.

The profile offers some inspiration -- that odd sort of "bustle" below the rear window, perhaps to expand the microscopic trunk. And the oddly sensuous shape of the front fender, which is unexpectedly elegant. I've seen that sort of bracing on the front of a Mini before, but have no idea what it's for.
