Robminibcy!?

What happened to the brown!!!

My first mini was (variations of...) that colour brown, with a black roof

Loved setting car alarms off with the loud exhaust in multi storeys (I was young!)

And the flowers? Tis no more Im afraid! as much as I like it being original and retro looking I didn't want to have a brown car! that said it did make the rust a bit less obvious!

I was so upset about the brown going I missed the flowers

I am hoping to revisit my youth with a mini project, and I would find it hard to spend so much money and effort and then paint it brown! Yours looks brilliant, well done
