Post subject:  Any ex-Police Minis in New Zealand?

A journalist colleague in NZ is doing an article on Australian Police Minis for an NZ motoring magazine and was wondering if there were any cars currently resident in NZ. Anyone know?

Can someone please list the NZ resident Ausmini members for me so I can PM them? I have already identified the following:

Thanks for the PM mate,
I have no info, BUT, I would suggest contacting Gavin, ive no idea wat his username is, but he is well known in Clubman GT circles.

Also, Brik_nutz or nuts (i always get it wrong), Damon is his name, he has a build thread about herman is clubbie estate.

66s is also NZ based

Try having a look in the christchurch earthquake thread.

oh, SMAC is also nz based.

Best of luck

Sorry no luck with my searches,

I have never heard or seen a OZ Police Mini here in NZ

There are a few OZ Cooper S about but they are also quite rare over here

Hi Winabbey,
I got your PM and will work on it. I have heard of a couple but some time ago. I'll make some enquiries and post back here. Aussie Cooper S's would outnumber UK built versions in Christchurch, more of them seem to be Austins too, strangely .

Regards
Al

Hi, just got a email with this info,

Try Graeme Farr, he had the remnants of one and might be able to help. Regards Cam

I don't know who Graeme is but some one here might.
Cheers Paul.

Thanks for heads up. Actually I was emailing Graeme Farr about 18 months ago helping him identify his car so I've already passed his email address on to the journalist.

Will try my contact at MINI NZ. He was also an apprentice at Dominion Motors and right into the Mini scene late 60's early 70's. I don't know of any, apart from a rumour that there were some around Dunedin.
