    Please send to BMW HQ before they completely destroy the mini / MINI brand.

    For 40 odd years I've regretted letting my '63 BRG E type roadster get away from me. Now they taunt us with this. Life's just not fair that-a-way. The wire wheels alone will cost more than what I paid.

    That, the SS 100, the Austin Healey 3000 and the XK 120 - the Queen Mother, four of the most beautifully sculpted motors ever put on the road IMO.

    I thought they were going to just build the other 6 lightweights, period-authentic.

    If you haven't seen it yet, check out the latest article over on Jalopnik. Here's a snip.

    Pretty nifty. Nice to see them pump some money into preserving the legend.
