Minis in Paris

Have you ever noticed how many old Minis there are in Paris. Once you start looking they are around every corner. They are certainly more ubiquitous that the 2CV. Oddly, they are always ever so slightly pimped - chrome bumpers front and rear. I find the best ones are always in British racing green, with a little Union Jack sticker on one side of the boot and a little 'F' (for France) sticker opposite. Trés chic.
