Not a 'nice period photo' but reading the newspaper report amazingly all four people in the wrecked Mini appear to have survived, along with the two rescued from the other car involved in the accident at the Blackamoor Crossroads in Blackburn! 
(Not sure what year this was).

That highly technical door opening device still makes me laugh, cutting edge 50s technology.

Batchelors Snackpot Minis...apparently there were around 60 of them in the late 1970's, back in the day privately owned Minis were sometimes paid to carry advertising like Levis jeans, KP Nuts, etc, which is why there is a mix of different marks & models.
