 Fortunately ....

We've identified this vehicle using the details you provided
AUSTIN MINI COOPER S UNKNOWN 1965
Registration number: 65 S
Body type: Saloon
Colour: Blue And White
Date of first registration: June 1965

Twist in the tail - it started life as the very rare 970 S, a 64-65 homologation special for 1000cc category racing sold as Austin or Morris - only about 1000 made (enough to clear homo;ogation, then it stopped. And this one has a small slice of rock star history - owned 1971-77 by a roadie for Humble Pie.

Archive footage is Mini Mk2s - maybe a 69 clip marking the Mini's 10th anniversary with 621 AOK - the first one made - and the 67 Monte winner.

Yes, it was assuredly some sort of a promo clip, if not two. I don't know why I said archive footage. I ammended my comment.
