Newspaper cutting, probably from The Catholic
Herald (c1968-9):
"Two White Fathers, Fr John Conlon
and Fr Joseph Brankin (Superior), of Sutton Coldfield, Warwickshire,
sort out the 138,000 cigarette coupons they have collected to
obtain a second Mini-Moke for their African missions. They started
collecting last September when 50,000 coupons were left over from
their first mini-moke, which is now being used in Tanzania, east
Africa.
Another 52, 000 coupons and the White Fathers will be able to
send the secon vehicle to Zambia, central Africa."

Newspaper cutting (1969):
"The White Fathers of 129 Lichfield
Road, Sutton Coldfield, Warwickshire have now received their second
Mini-Moke with 195,000 cigarette coupons sent to them by people
from all over the country. The Catholic Herald reported that the
missionary order wanted more coupons. Now, thanks to its readers,
the vehicle will be shipped to Northern Zambia for missionary
work.
The first vehicle is now in use in Tanzania.
The White Fathers have already 10,000 coupons towards their next
Mini-Moke. But it is a race against time because it is feared
that the cigarette company will withdraw it from their catalogue." |

This Mini-Moke was obtained with 200,000 cigarette coupons, now in
use in Western Tanzania
(The extra 5000 coupons was probably needed to install a cigarette lighter)
