Well it's got the lift up door handles so it's a reasonably rare one.

My son took a photo of this mini when it was sitting in an industrial factory at Springwood in January. Same number plate.
Was being driven by the occupant of the factory who had some other bits of BMC cars in the yard. He only saw it there once.

I think its called "Kelp Beige" or some such.

At least you could safely park it under a tree, and not worry about washing off the bird sh!t.

Camino Gold (had a 71 K) wasn't great either in my opinion but then my car is Ferrari red. Horses for courses...!

Camino Gold is my favourite, and Kelp Beige is definitely in my top 5 :D

Actually like these 2 poo colours..... :D

These colour cars were mainly sold in the 60s and 70s so remind me of that era and have a sense of authenticity as many would have been reprayed......
