Italian Job Minis: News
17.06.1976 - 10.01.2002
In June 1976 my first viewing of the original 1969 film... from that moment it was a matter of time and a great deal of luck to get to the moment when we owned what remained of the original Coopers. The only remaining items were the original number plates HMP729G, GPF146G and LGW809G. All of which we are hugely lucky enough to now own.We legally own these famous film plates and have the only set of Italian Job Minis that are recognised by Paramount Pictures and who's Mk1 Cooper S's are legally registered with the original plates (the only set in the world).

CHEFFINS AUCTION - January 2006After many years waiting and searching, we found out that the original collector and owner of the original film registrations had decided to sell, at auction.
Wow, what coverage - the auction.
