Well spotted , just a shame they don't show the number plate , what colour do people think it was ? I'm thinking grey or green .... wonder if it was mine (Sydney car) ?

Bart , no worries , since they took the seats out there isn't any fragile bits left in it so let's go :D

Hmmm , my sports850's original NSW number plate was CXZ 561 , I think there is a 6 in the number of the plate , what does anyone else think ? Will be emailing the archive mob to see if there's any other film from the same source or anything that might tell if Mrs Webb was involved .

Very impressive - 25!

We managed to get my mate's kid brother into the boot of the old Cooper S (with leaky fuel tank and all) and get him into the drive-in.....I mean, who would look in the boot of any mini, especially one with twin tanks? :lol:
