    Stated also by another old MINI forum denizen: "Without pictures, it didn't happen."

    Bertone did a nice job of designing a body that honors the Aston Martin heritage.

    The blue on is the one for sale. We know the whole history on it, and the restoration is 100-percent correct. The red one was probably not that exact color, but the records are apparently sketchy. I shot that one for a magazine article. I took that car-to-car shot from the trunk of a Jaguar XJ8L I had as a press car. A videographer was next to me in the trunk. It was pretty cozy... and it was cold that day.

    However, one of the owners of the magazine has a prime steakhouse near where the car was, and he hooked us up with some very fine food after the shoot. I had the 16oz bone in ribeye.

    Here is the video...

    I'm in the video, briefly, if you watch carefully.
