  Unique Wood & Pickett Margrave to star at Historics 1 May 2014 (News)
  Styling touches on this one include peaked chromed headlamp rims, borrowed from a Riley 1.5, Aston Martin DB6 leather seats, Piper electric windows, and Rolls Royce chrome handles. It really is a mini-luxury car. Historics is selling the car with tools, Hydrolastic suspension pump, an MoT test certificate, valid until October 2014 and Historic road fund licence until September 2014. It will be interesting to see what this one goes for - no-reserve certainly doesn't mean it's going to be a bargain, as it has both showbiz connections, and bespoke interest for both Mini and Wood & Pickett fans.

  Classic cars to take over Chelsea 5 Jul 2011 (News)
  There’ll be tributes to the Jaguar E-type, celebrating its 50th birthday this year, and to another 50-year-old, the Mini Cooper. “We have reserved some Showground places for unusual Minis and Jaguars. If anyone has a Mini-based special, such as a Unipower GT or Mini Marcos, we’d love to hear from them. We would also like more Minis once owned by somebody famous – a Beatle or Peter Sellers perhaps – or a Cooper or E-type with a competition or interesting history,” said Verdon-Roe.
