When I was 11 years old I attended a comprehensive high school in Burnley. My English Teacher, Mrs Langstroth, came to school in this brand new Tourmaline Green SL320 - Needless to say I was awestruck! This was at a time when if you had a new SL you were really someone! (£63k list price in 1994 is like £150k now). I ran over and said “Wow Miss that is a nice car”!!
It turned out that her husband was a multi millionaire and had bought it for her 40th Birthday present. I used to bump into her from time to her every 5 or so years after I left school, as you do with past teachers, and I always asked about it and told her if she ever sold it I wanted it…. Sadly her husband had died and she was very attached to the car.
However last year, she finally agreed to let me buy it from her on the proviso I keep it forever. She even let me keep
Her private reg (SL were her initials too)! It feels special as this was probably one of the first ‘nice’ cars I ever came into contact with and it feels such a privilege to look after it on behalf of Mrs L! ♥️

British Motor Corp, owners of the Mini, refused to donate any cars for "The Italian Job" (1969). The chief of Fiat Motors offered to donate all of the cars needed, including Fiat 500s in place of the Minis. Peter Collinson, the director of the movie decided that, as it was a very British movie, the cars should be British Minis.
Fiat still donated scores of cars for filming, as well as the factory grounds. The authorities refused to close the roads, but the Italian Mafia stepped in and shut whole sections of Turin down for filming. The traffic jams in this movie are real, as are people's actions during them.
