I think a Datto is one of those cars that I was constantly overtaking in my Cooper S.
Back in the good old days prior to radar, and way before speed cameras.

Ummmmm maybe not if I had been driving the Datto in front

Mine had wider rims and XASs that geared it up nicely...made the stump puller first gear quite nice....coupled with a willing 1600 SOHC and paper thin Japanese sheet metal and they got along quite nicely.

Doc...I found XZX AOK on Mini...on 5 inch rims...hung on gewd

Yes, it's a gorgeous little car.

I was invited by mini-mini a long while back to look at his car. He taught me a lot of things. He has a bible/notes for all the little details you should look for for a MK1 Cooper S.

Hey mini-mini, you should have asked if I want your car first. You know I could have paid that money to you outright!. :lol:

Anyways. You regretting selling Now, uh, should have asked for opinion first. IT WILL NOT COME BACK....

Hey Ben,

Wasn't really thinking of selling. I took it down to Rory as I like to have a look at the wonderful selection of cars he has from time to time. We came to an agreed value, which he settled on the day. I'm more than happy on the price. I just miss the car though.

I'm very happy he has it. He has the means to promote the little cars to a wider audience, as witnessed by the 'Motor' magazine article.

ok Nick. Yea, he owns the car shop so more chances of people seeing it, I will grab a copy and have a look.

By the way, you got a new old mini or new new mini yet? You know that mini disease in you will kill you eventually.

A mate gave me this mag today. Good to see a fellow Ausmini members (ex) car in a Non-Mini Magazine. Great photos. Looked good.
