Business as usual

One of the most beloved cars we ever owned was a Mini 850 Van. Also it was the newest car - a record still unbroken - we ever owned. It was only 4 years old when we bought it at a mere 650 dutch guilders (with an XL dent in the left rear wing). It had been in use with an Amsterdam flower shop to deliver bouquets and the like around town. The car was in good fettle and was a brilliant city racer for a 19 year old student in the seventies. The crazy loud noise of everything moving 'amplified' by the van-'box' wouldn't spoil the fun. Practical use nowadays as a collector car may not be very high. But to use in the same way it was ever meant and marketed still no bad choice and now much-mucho more than back then a first class marketing tool. Think of your logo showing at the side of the dove gray beauty...
