Thanks chaps, there is the faint remains of a Coventry (Evening?) Telegraph stamp on the back of that photo...I wonder if they supplied it to A-R to use in publicity?

There may be some more, I shall keep looking (and hoping Becca doesn't mind me nicking her login)

Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

We're doing my '25 up, ready for the 50th celebrations!!

I'd just love a load of memorabilia to sit with it!



I have a couple of brochures, a Vitesse model, a poster and a book! Oh, and I think a sticker, somewhere!

Always on the look out for more to go with it, though!

Awesome, Wonder if anyone has still got some '25 Rock'

Great post and nice collection...............brings back some very happy memories. I have been to all the official Mini Birthday celebrations since the first Mini 20th in 1979 at Donnington (even Alec Issigonis was actually there!) and have an old video of Mini 25, so am looking forward to the Mini 50th events this year !

Excellent collection of archive material there, thanks for providing it.

I was only 12 years of age back in 1979, but I certainly watched the special Mini 20 programme (or whatever it was called) on TV with my family. I also remember the Mini 25 coverage on TV via the 1984 Motor Show which was hosted by Patrick Mower and Suzanne Daniel. I was captivated seeing all those Minis of all ages driving around Donington and their owners having a great time of it, plus I'd taped it and I used to watch it over and over again (like The Italian Job).

Anyway later that year I acquired the family Mini (my first car and the rest is history) and started driving lessons.

Anyway I was there at Mini 30 (with my mates and like all the other Mini owners there, we all got in for free as we were in a Mini).

I was also at Mini 35 and Mini 40, but I just couldn't be bothered with Mini 45 and as for Mini 50, well my family has grown and the entry fee of £35.00 each means we'll probably give this one a miss too!
