Hot Car Magazines Modded Mini - Autospeed Show 1968

[mab01UK]

Do any other 'oldies' remember the Hot Car magazine Modded Mini as featured on the front cover below in April 1968 or perhaps have any other photos of it? It went on display at the Autospeed Racing Car Show in London and the object was to use as many as possible of the many bolt on items available for Minis at that time! I was only 11 years old back then but I clearly remember reading my older brothers Hot Car magazines and loving this Mini.............when my brother moved on to Cars and Car Conversions magazine around 1970 I continued to buy Hot Car for myself for a few more years (before also moving on to CCC) and still have some copies up in my loft that I can't bring myself to part with for nostalgia reasons!
