If someone wants me to scan it and e-mail it , send me a message. I cant post it here, as it will probably take me 6 months to get permission from BMW AG. Unless perhaps Paul has an arrangement with them over brochure type material ?.

Basil, I don't pretend to know much about copyright laws, but my understanding (which certainly could be wrong) is you can legally reproduce some copyright material, such as photo, if you have incorporated it, or substantially modified it, and placed it into an original work, such as graphic, that is clearly different and distinct from the source. Such as creating a montage or similar. If this is true, then you could make, say, a Picasso-like face using the different types of MINI wheels as the eyes and avoid any copyright issues. Right? Or maybe something that is less Picasso-like but still different from the source?

Sorry, I’m up too late, time for bed......
