26/07/14 Princess Diana's Mini Metro is loaded onto its trailer after the show. It is currently owned by Coventry Motor Museum. The engine is currently filled with inhibiting fluid to stop it corroding. If the fluid is removed it could be started and recommissioned for road use again. Princess Diana's Mini Metro was the star of the show at the first ever Festival of the Unexceptional. The car show held near Silverstone celebrated the best examples of the most ordinary cars of late 1960s to mid-1980s Britain. Organisers, Hagerty Insurance, said: "LetÕs celebrate, preserve and enjoy these threatened and endangered pieces of our beige, brown and plaid automotive heritage. "There are twice as many Ferraris on the road in the UK than Austin Allegros! WeÕve brought together the 50 best examples of a wide range of models - an award of dubious value will go to the overall winner." Princess Diana's red 1980 Mini Metro L was photographed many times while she was dating Prince Charles and was affectionately known as the 'courting car'. It has had three owners since it left the Royal fleet, and has clocked-up a very modest 30, 000 miles. All Rights Reserved - F Stop Press. www.fstoppress.com. Tel: +44 (0)1335 300098
