Spotted Minor million

[olderisbetter]

Today was the Himley classic car show, While having a wonder around i spotted a minor million, I know they are about but this is the first time i have seen one in the flesh so to speak, I am guessing many of you have seen it at events but i was stunned to say the least, I will add a picture ot two when i get my phone to charge.

Well done! The first one I saw in the mid seventies belonged to a student. I'd never heard of the Minor Million and thought he had doctored the boot badge himself!

Rare of course, but a 'marmite 'colour...love it or hate it.

OK picture have been developed(battery charged and uploaded)



and the colour is ok with me but i can see why a very butch man might be a little uneasy with it

Someone has taken a lot of care in its renovation. Looks a very smart car!

It looked just as good underneath aswell, it probably gets looked after better than i do

[SGTBILKO]

Looks like a trailer queen, did they actually drive it to the show? Only saying that out of jealousy, it looks fabulous!

It's in very good condition and a credit to it's owner but would you really want to be seen driving a car that colour?????
best wishes,
Mike.

The car must be one of the worst colours ever no wonder they stuck in the showrooms

Back in the day .... my mother was a driving instructor, and taught a number of pupils to drive in a million !!

This isn't the only strange colour choice. Back in the 70s how many young boys wanted a Raleigh Chopper ?? and what did Raleigh decide to do with their top of the range 5 speed Chopper bike ???

!!!! Painted it PINK !!!!

Hence very rare now

I do remember the pink raliegh bikes but was not aware of the pink chopper, But i am sure there must be a few double entenders in there somewhere

[irmscher]

I think it was called a palm beach

DO hope it wasn't the "IT" bike!!

[olderisbetter]

I had chopper that someone wanted and now it hangs on a wall as a decoration, and "palm beach" i will look into it, if my dad knew they made a pink boys bike when i was young he would have got me one as a joke, i bet they must be worth ££££ now then.
