Noo Noo is named after the hoover from the childrens television program ‘The Teletubbies’ due to its colour scheme. I purchased the car from West Wickham Garages in 1996. The car has been extensively modified since I have owned it.

The car was featured in a four page article for Mini World magazine in June 1995 to display the type of Mini that can be built for hillclimbing and sprinting. The car was, at that time, still owned by Martin Bales of West Wickham Garages. Bill Sollis tested the car and was impressed by it. I purchased the car about six months after the article.
