Martyn got back behind the wheel of a Classic Mini at the IMM last year…
Besides the IMM itself, one of the highlights of last year’s Irish weekend for me, was the chance to get back behind the wheel of a Classic Mini. The first time since my much-loved 1990 Rover Mini Cooper RSP with a Cooper S conversion.
I loved that car and one of the highlights was taking it on the Italian Job charity run with my mate James Holland. So I jumped at the chance to get behind the wheel of Mini’s own 2000 Tahiti Blue Cooper, with its cool, full-length Webasto sunroof.
