We followed this today.
 I had forgotten just how small they actually were  lol
I saw it from a distance and said to my wife that’s a mini clubman, when we got behind it she said it says Austin Seven.

Wasn't the original Mini an Austin Mini? Before British shall we go on strike again? Leyland built them.
Maybe I'm just confused, where's the wine gone........
A great spot, gorgeous little car, love the wooden frame.
