Ever since I started driving/walking along Camberwell Grove some 6 years ago, I've always noticed and admired a classic 1960s Mk 1 maroon Mini that was usually parked about 2/3 of the way down the hill on Camberwell Grove. It really was a fine example and was completely original; externally at least. I hadn't seen it in a while, and has assumed that it had been sold or worse, was subject to probate.

However flicking through a classic mag this evening I spotted a picture of it- apparently it was stolen sometime over Christmas. It's a crying shame that such a wonderful little thing has been taken from it's owner. As anyone who has owned and lost a classic car will tell you, the insurance payment covers the nuts and bolts but never the sentimentality.

Just thought I'd share as like me, you may have been wondering what happened to it! The article states that if anyone has any info as to its whereabouts they should contact the owner, Dr. Spoto, on 07881 622032 (as it's already in the public domain I don't think there's any harm in sharing the number).

- Which Dulwich - East/West/Village?

  FWIW when we were looking to buy in the area recently, there weren't that many properties listed. Of the properties that were listed you could eliminate 80% of them because they needed work doing that wasn't reflected in the price. I think people are a bit in denial about construction costs nowadays. It's not a good market if you need to move.

  I have moved doctors but the only way I managed to secure an appointment at TJ was by emailing every person/email address I could find in one email chain asking for an appointment and reiterated the app/phone system didn't work

  At one time cars were seen as niche and for the rich with too much money, but mass production and automation of production lines soon placed cars in the hands of everyone. Whilst I think the Jetson one won't be the answer, you can bet your bottom dollar that flying cars will be on (or is that above) the streets sooner than we think 🤔

  Not sure why this will wind people up. I work in transport and a former colleague moved to a flying car company. They went bust. It's niche/novelty or for those who don't know what to do with their money. It won't be mainstream. Whereas cycling is an excellent solution for many people's transport needs in urban areas.
