Absolutely positively a Mini (from someone who grew up in the era when Minis (Coopers S) were used by the local police for pursuit cars - and could catch most things on the roads and Minis dominated a major Aussie car race - the Bathurst 500)

Here is an article about the Beatles' Minis, including Ringo's (a Radford, not a W&P, which apparently is a big difference for those in the know).
