A Felixstowe car enthusiast has restored the Mini he learned to drive in back in the 1970s - and now the little car is due to star on TV.
What s more, the classic car is getting a taste of 21st-century technology, by undergoing a Tesla electric vehicle conversion in Wales for the series Vintage Voltage, to be shown on the station Quest TV later this year.
Owner Simon Benton described the car as part of the family, and added: I had always told my parents I would restore her.
