Evans’ mini sale leads to celebrity car cash-ins


17 Feb


As fans of Top Gear might have already heard, Chris Evans has recently been having a little bit of a garage clear out. Following all the Ferraris, Bentleys and assorted Yank tanks that the ginger millionaire has off loaded in recent months, was something a little more blue-collar. Ranked by Evans himself as the most significant vehicle he has ever owned, this brown 1972 mini 1000 is set to be a good long term investment say several classic car collectors. The seller, who is awaiting offers around £5k, is likely to triple the real value of car thanks to its famous former owner.

"Marc Bolan and his girlfriend Gloria Jones spent the evening of 15 September 1977 drinking at the Speakeasy and then dining at Morton's club on Berkeley Square, in Mayfair, Central London. While driving home early in the morning of 16 September, Jones crashed Bolan's purple Mini 1275GT into a tree (now the site of Bolan's Rock Shrine), at Barnes Bridge, Barnes, South West London—less than a mile from his home at 142 Upper Richmond Road West in East Sheen. While Jones was severely injured, Bolan was killed in the crash, two weeks before his 30th birthday"

He, like dear Taffy, has shuffled off this moral coil.

is that the indicator at the top of the B piller?

I think so, yeah


Lenny Mclean had one

I think someone who knew the Krays had one also, and they used it on occasion. (It was up for sale recently I think and disputed whether or not they actually owned it)
