One of the great things about the original Mini is that it appealed to the rich and famous as well as the down at heel. Thus a fair few have celebrity owners, which brings us to this 1969 Wood & Pickett Margrave Mini Cooper S Mk.II. It was owned by Denny Laine of the Moody Blues and by John Hammel, a member of Sir Paul McCartney’s band Wings. Hammel loved the car so much hes bought it back on more than one occasion. The car itself is a properly coachbuilt car – just a bit smaller than the usual coachbuilt fare. According to Historics at Brooklands – who are selling this Mini on Saturday, June 7 at Brooklands – the interior is thus: The interior detail includes Aston Martin DB6 leather seats, electric windows with Aston Martin window switches, Rolls Royce chrome handles, dark blue leather-trimmed carpets, Britax seat belts, a full width dashboard housing MGB rev counter and odometer and Jaguar auxiliary instruments, a Moto-Lita wood rim steering wheel and even a Rolls Royce cigarette lighter. A further notable period feature is the eight-track cassette player in working order, allowing you to sing along to the original tapes of the era that come with the car!.
