>From memory it was an Austin 1100.
Not a mini but a bit bigger than that, but yes it was a product of the BL
stable.
Shared some of the design features of the mini, suspension wise and was in
turn considered quite advenced for its day.
To those of us over herre in England, a typical small family car.

Did anyone out here watch the Faulty Towers episodes?
The one where Bazel's car failed him on his way to pick up something very
important and was on a ridgid time schedule. The ole car wasn't starting.
Well, he gets really pissed at his car on the side of the road and starts
giving it a warning. Of which, it didn't do anything, so he runs and gets
limb off a near by tree and thrashs it vigerously. Pretty funny scene.
What type of car (Mini?) was that? And what year? As well as any other
specifics about that little red car.
It was pretty amazing a stick like insect that Clease is, he fit in that
car.
