	Looking through the H.A.M.B. the other day (as you do), and came across this:- It's 302-powered and in my eyes it's as if Stone Woods & Cooks had a UK operation! More info (and hot Minors) here:- www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=397580

	Yep, black one for me too, though the blue one rocks as well. I'd roll in both of them!

	Blue one definitely, the black one looks like its mummy was a minor and daddy was a Phat Saxo.

	That's a hard call. In fact it's amazing how many awesome Minors there is...even just in the UK. All of these should have a place on the #1 Minor plinth: Nic Mann's Racer John Beardmore's Tourer Robin Beardmore's Roadster Pickup Gary Ellis' Minor as well as various pro-streeters, dragsters and floorpan swapped Nissan ones. Too many amazing Minors.

	Like Heathy's . . . but I'm afraid it's the 2 Beardmore ones that do it for me. In fact I thought I might be confronted with a pearoast of John Beardmore's when I saw the title. Not seen Robin Beardmore's before but I like!
