Time to reply this car has not been in any Auction other than CCA
The only thing that appears to be wrong is the rear window
The Mark 1 windows rusted very badly and in the 1970’s this car’s window was cut out and replaced with mark 2 after tracking down garage
At this time parts for mark 1 were unavailable
Otherwise it’s correct Mark 1
A dealer has offered to purchase and convert into a Cooper
He has some 30 minis in storage that he paid no more than £60 tops
He is making a fortune by supply faked up Minis and reckons 30 % in circulation are not true mini’s
Indeed a friend purchased a Cooper at Auction to find bad fake
So looks I might sell to this dealer

I absolutely loving 3284 KM, a cracking car but why the blue interior with green exterior?

Nice Aussie S sold for £26k, at risk of being lambasted , In some ways I prefer the Aussie Mk1

Could this be referring to a previous thread that I can’t find now about a RARE MK1 mini won at auction that had a factory fitted MK2 rear window years before the MK2 came out! The buyer refused to go through with the sale .

This 997 did very well to say it needs quite a few bits sorting
