MASTER CLASS

摘要

Imust confess to not being an avid follower of the BMC Mini Cooper during the golden years. In the very early 70s I became aware of a local 'Mini Ace' by the name of Paul Gaymer. He had been the Mini Seven 'King' of 1969. One day, I asked him for his thoughts on the Mini Coopers, as I was thinking of seeking one to purchase. His response was emphatic: "The best Mini Cooper ever made was the Mk2 998." He did state, as we would all agree, that the 998 should have had S brakes and, nearly as significant, would have had 4.5" reverse rims as standard.
