Dunlop
Aquajet Mini Tyres
Vintage Tyres
have recently introduced Dunlop Aquajet Mini tyres. After a tireless
search for the moulds, and a great deal of research, they have managed
to re-introduce these tyres, as original equipment to Mini Coopers and
other derivatives. The 145SR10 Dunlop Aquajet was originally fitted
to the Cooper in 1964, and was fitted to both the Cooper and Cooper
S along with standard Mini derivatives. It is priced at £58 +VAT.
The 165/70SR10 Dunlop Aquajet was originally fitted to the Cooper S
in 1964, and is priced at £59 +VAT. They offer free carriage to
most of the UK mainland

Mk1
Mini Products
Recent additions to the growing range
of Heritage products for the Mk1 Mini: Boot lid, spare wheel clamp,
spare wheel boss, doors, subframe, bonnet, and valance.
Demand for the products is strong and
it is Heritage's plan to add further items during the year. Their standard
of quality and originality are very high. Well worth laying out an extra
pound or two.
P&L Minis – The Simpson
Mini.
Regular visitors to some of the bigger
Mini shows during the year will almost certainly have seen some of Paul
and Liz Halpine's impressive painted Minis. Previous projects include
a Warner Brother cartoon Mini, a Whacky Races one and another dedicated
to Star Trek! Along with a Moet Chandon Mini, Bull Dogs, Union Jacks
and other flags on roofs. Their latest project is the Simpson's Mini;
the car has been fully restored using Heritage panels and parts with
a full leather interior, new engine, gearbox and 10" brakes, running
gear and suspension. Paul and Liz are hoping to be asked to take the
car along to the Premiere of the new Simpson's film in July in London.
