Hey, what do I know from Mini's?! Just that they're smaller than most V8s and
that this seems sacreligious! Had no idea when production started. The ad said
"'51 Austin Mini" and of course, I believe everything I read. Come to think of
it, the typesetter probably fat-fingered and it's really a '61.
Jane, tell your daughter to stick with Matchboxes for a while longer - they're
MUCH safer for an 11 year old, and only slightly smaller. 8^)
