An original Mini is almost guaranteed to attract attention and the Cherry Red 1989 Austin Mini model owned by Brenda Roberts is particularly exclusive. Brenda is the proud owner of a Thirty, the special version that celebrated three decades of this iconic car with only 3,000 produced. Claire Lee's has owned her last-of-the-line 1990 Fiat X1/9 'Gran Finale' version since 2002 but she only started to take it to shows across Suffolk this year - often finding hers is the only X1/9 there – as they become increasingly rare. The only modification is to the stereo as the engine is so loud! Also bringing a Fiat is Stefan Graichen who found his 1967 500F on eBay three years ago. The car had been off the road since about 1972 and basically needed 'everything' from new wings and bonnet, to doors while the engine needed replacing and the seats, windscreen and other details were missing. It's now a stunner that is regularly used on the roads. Another fresh restoration is Ronald Parry's 1964 Jaguar E-Type Series 1 Coupe. Ronald has a long-term interest in cars of the 1960s. 'I was a panel beater after I left school and I was fascinated by the iconic vehicles from that era,' he explains. He came across his Jaguar three years ago when he was attending the Goodwood Revival. 'It dated from 1964, just like I do, so it seemed pre-ordained that I should own it!' he adds. After two years of hard graft, the E-Type is now immaculate and ready for the final. The Lancaster Insurance Pride of Ownership celebrates the passion of the owners, the history of the vehicle and the story that develops between the car and the owner over time. Previous winners include a family owned Metro City, a boat-tailed handmade Packard, and more recently, a Triumph Spitfire. The Lancaster Insurance Classic Motor Show, with Discovery, returns to Birmingham's NEC from Friday 10 to Sunday 12 November.
