Always a sad day when a member of the community passes. It will also be a sad day for my mini seeing as that was her original home.

I used to go to Dave Potter Motors down on brighton road I think, when I had the morris minor in what was probably the early '80s and later for the mini...

His BMC dealership was on ANZAC Highway opposite Keswick Barracks, later he moved to Brighton Rd where he became a Honda dealer after Leyland Australia closed down. He and the late John Taylor (of Taylors of Medindie, another Adelaide BMC dealership) were two of the local Mini rallying stalwarts in the late 1960s.

Oh ok then my memory is probably as bad as I think it, unless he still sold parts for BMC on brighton road...

we purchased a new hi ho silver ls mini from dave potter motors on brighton road in about
1977 or 1978, they were also mazda dealers at that time from memory. Dave was a
nice person to deal with so we continued business with him for some time.
