Brian meets David Morton who’s perfectly restored three of the original Mini Coopers from the iconic 1969 film The Italian Job. David remortgaged his house, spent a year and half working on the cars, and even got the original company Speedwell to tune the engines, so the Minis are now in the exact same condition they were when filming.
Cars that Rock with Brian Johnson is a 6-part series which follows the AC/DC frontman and self-confessed petrol head on a journey of discovery into some of Europe’s most iconic car brands.
When he’s not wowing millions of screaming fans in one of the biggest and most important rock bands of all time, AC/DC front man Brian Johnson can normally be found in the seat of a powerful motorcar. Now, he wants to share his passion with the rest of the world as he heads full-speed into his next adventure, delving into the rich histories and remarkable stories of some of Europe’s most iconic car marques, including Mini, Bugatti, Rolls Royce, Lamborghini, Bentley and Porsche. This is Cars that Rock with Brian Johnson.

Wealth is not always measured in gold but in the possessions we cherish. The Mini IS a British Icon not just an automobile.

My favourite car video on KZfaq... These cars are legendary, but so we’re the rumours around Morpeth & stannington that they were in a private collection nearby. My dad’s the biggest Italian job fan I know, When I was a kid he introduced me to Michael Deely and we even took on a ‘63 MK1 Cooper S project. But I’m over the moon to hear that they’re still about and that the current owner would never sell them on.. I find that heartening. Maybe one day we’ll be lucky enough to see them in person, But it’s just fantastic that the owner gets it.. What they are and what they’re all about.

These are great tributes to the Minis from the movie. They are NOT the original cars ! Building cars from log books using other period shells is also illegal. Much like a large number of the “ex works” cars that have mysteriously reappeared over the last few decades, farcical. I read somewhere that he bought those registration numbers at auction from the DVLA as they weren’t real at the time of filming , hardly original. Good luck to him though . If the lie gets perpetuated enough , it’ll become a truth...... Oh and sticking a Speedwell badge on the rocker cover doesn’t constitute “tuning by the original company” , the same company that ceased to trade in the mid ‘70’s 🤔
@giuseppecochi8134 4 жыл бұрын
there maybe a lot wrong with these cars as you say but speedwell lives on, albeit in the USA, www.speedwellengineering.com/ they are connected to the original company in London, check the history on their website, of course whether or not they had anything to do with the rebuild is another matter
@giuseppecochi8134 4 жыл бұрын
also the registrations may not have been real at the time but if you look at the original movie clips they are clearly the registrations that you see on the 3 cars in the getaway scene

On its introduction in August 1959, the Mini was marketed under the Austin and Morris names, as the Austin Seven and Morris Mini-Minor. The Austin Seven was renamed Austin Mini in January 1962 and Mini became a marque in its own right in 1969.

Dear Cars That Rock,Why are you are promoting these fake cars as the real deal? The reg numbers weren't real and were only issued by the DVLA in recent years and Morton bought them at auction.The original chassis numbers of the 21 cars supplied by BMC and none are Mortons cars.On top there were lots of used Mini's dressed up as Cooper S's.You should issue an apology for broadcasting this lie.
@burlatsdemontaigne6147 8 жыл бұрын
Firstly, they weren't all Coopers. They were just basic "dressed up" minis. Secondly, there were LOADS more that 14. I have heard that there were 30 or more - Some, just like the empty body shells that were pushed out of the bus. Also, they had to PAY for every one. Agnelli offered them as many Fiats as they wanted - for nothing - hence the movie being shot in Turin but they insisted on using the mini - AND Noel Coward!
