mini on its 11th birthday in 1970 was £600 now £10,500 

Mini for £600. You would be robbed! About 15 years earlier my big sister bought her mini new for £99.

come on that was 15yrs earlier. and this was the special 11th birthday of the mini . mind i believe the early minis had a tendecy to collect water .inside 

oh it wasn't too bad. It was before I could drive on the road. My sister gave me lifts in it. I think you are right. It must have been a very early model. Second year of production perhaps. Too long ago.So revise 15 Down to 10. Terrible inflation. The mini did not change much until the Germans started to build them.

still an amazing british idea . just needed germany engering .
