Most liked posts in thread: Funky Paint Job 1973 MINI Cooper

Very interesting to see an older Mini painted to resemble a new model. About 99% of the time it's the other way around.

In this case, it seems the owner of the 1973 Innocenti Mini was a big fan of the limited edition Paul Smith striped Minis of 1997. When these cars first came out, I'd never heard of Paul Smith, but apparently he's some celebrated UK fashion designer.
