Does anyone what happened to Lil Thumpa? It was a white Mini Deluxe made to be a Cooper 'S' look alike (as you do) with the black out treatment, ie all chrome was black. Lil Thumpa had a mural on each rear quarter panel of the cute bunny, Lil Thumpa. It ran a 1400cc or something like that and was owned by a bloke who called himself Beppi who lived in Sunnybank, Brisbane. I remember the last time I saw it was about 1986 or thereabouts and I was just wondering if anyone had any info on Lil Thumpa??? I reckon this forum needs a 'What happened to' section. Might be handy to find our long lost first Minis too. |
