Title: AL127 Ogle-Mini
Post by: Allan L on August 28, 2023, 04:08:46 AM

A relatively modern one for once! A point for make and approximate year.
In a way this is a re-post but finding the earlier thread could be difficult!

Ogle SX1000! David Ogle sadly missed. A talented designer.

I'll say that's near enough and give you a point.
This car was made before the SX1000 name was thought of.
We just called 'em Ogle-Mini at the time.
You may like to know that this one was originally an 850cc Mini of 1960, which Ogle bought second-hand, cut up and rebodied. I owned it in 1974-9 in response to the Energy Crisis as it could be made to average 40 m.p.g. on the trip to and from work.
