Well remembered s. But it was the back of a Ford Capri 2.8i. The Mini belonged to her nan and was remarkable in that it was a Mini 850 with an automatic gearbox. A two-speed automatic gearbox. Not so good uphill.Quote:

A black 2.8i when I was 19, and a white 2.8i special when the black one was nicked from outside my girlfriend's house.
