Another from my collection, a CDROM this time, from England:

Remember Counterfeit MINIs? In England MINI did a similar campaign, but instead of disguising cars to look like MINIs, they went for trucks, and even sheds!

The CDROM contains a version of Space Invaders, vaguely themed on the UK counterfeits … I’ll assume it’s the same as the “giant size” game that was playable at the UK motor show in 2006:

Paul Mullett put up a video on MINI2, from his visit to the 2006 UK motorshow, that shows the game being played.

Something I acquired a while ago … postcard prints of early “concept” sketches of the Mini by Alec Issigonis, apparently published to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Mini (and sadly, no indication of the date of the sketches):
