Please, someone take me to Monterey.

At risk of eliciting an off topic 'cough'...but the question has been asked and it is sort of an 'S'.... (yes it is a 1275 badge).

Car is a 1981 Leyland (Australia) Mini Moke Californian (1275 'S' engine). Bought new from concessionaire Run-a-Moke in London who built them up from factory kits. I drove it to Spain where it now lives. Photo taken last week.

Great fun. Cruises all day at 130 ........ KPH that is

Right been to the dealers to sort out the paperwork.
They have assured me that the TLC pack is included in the £22k OTR price as standard on the GP and have not charged me for it. Am I:-

A) Lucky

B) Mis-informed

I have heard a few current owners had to pay for the pack? whats everyone else been told?

Furry dice? Hope your going for the GP blue dice with contrast red and silver spots

At least that puts my mind at rest about the TLC, thought they were mad as they were putting it all through. Any idea why its included when its optional on the std cars?

Well it's still optional on the GP for some buyers it seems
lmb had to pay i think; I'll have to clear that up with my dealer as when i asked about it; he said it's "worth getting"; Not "Don't worry chappy; TLC is included on the GP"
I'll be sure to quote these comments

So does Charlie; but I'm not pleased with some of the detailing/prep issues that I've discovered upon pickup, which were not apparent while parked at the track. :-(

Saw Chrisandjax at MITP06 yesterday and they showed me around their car.
Fantastic people, really friendly - they even started her up and wow what a sound - cheers guys its appreciated. (Although the wait has now got harder........ )

The colour is fantastic, in one light its blue with a hint of grey, in another grey with a hint of blue. Brilliant.

Really glad I decided to go with the GP to see one for the first time and to be left speechless just about summed it all up.
