Hi, I'm John Napper.
Welcome to my website.
If you are a listener to
, you will probably recognise my name from the
Steve Allen Show
as I have made
all the badges that Steve has given away in the past and also the new set for
2006.
Steve has also mentioned the badges
that I have made for the
and for
Thai Nice Restaurant (see my links page).
My Favourite singer is Rita Pavone who I was lucky enough to meet in February 2005.
If the name means nothing to you, see my links page.
My Favourite place on Earth is Rio de Janeiro.
My Favourite sport is Motor Racing and my Favourite race is the Le Mans 24 Hours.
My Favourite football team is Queen's Park Rangers.
I have lived in Milton Keynes for the last 20 years and
have been a Parish
Councillor for 6 years.
I think that's enough about me.
Any Mini owners who have reached this page will probably know me from the stall that I have been running at major Mini shows over the last 15 years, selling lots of assorted Mini memorabilia - more than just badges as the website name indicates.
I have been a car nut for as long as I can remember and I have been into Minis
since they were first launched in 1959. I have owned 6 different Minis since
1978, the most recent being a black Mini 30 that I bought new in 1989.
Unfortunately it has succumbed to the dreaded tinworm and is currently
officially off the road awaiting funds for a professional restoration so please
buy lots of badges.
I am proud to have been accepted as an Associate of the Guild of Motoring
Artists (AGMA) which means that fellow motoring artists consider that I have
reached a certain standard with my work and the guild has high standards. I have
a number of Limited Edition Prints for sale and will accept commissions for
original acrylic paintings, some of which are featured elsewhere on this
website.
This photo of me was taken just before the start of the Portela escola de samba parade through the Sambodromo
in Rio de Janeiro during Carnaval 2009. My costume represents liberty, relating to the abolition of slavery.

Paul Dunford
for putting this website
together for me.
I hope you like it.
