If it's a late 60 then the gutter is correct Alan
Thanks Andrew, as Old English White said March 1961 registered, you could be right, nice car, and indeed much more rare than a Cooper 997 / 998 /1275 S

Haha, yes the once common 850 is now the rarest of the Mini range
. Not sure that makes it worth £25k though......

Later restoration with surface rust begs questions

Choke and heater cable reversed compared to mine- and washer on the left. Just wondering if it has been converted??

Well spotted Watson, not a lot of MOT history either, which may mean nothing.....

Not mine, but a VERY, VERY rare matching set of correct knobs for the fresh air heater kit with the motor under the bonnet!

Oh I miss my Mille Miglias, which I flogged with my previous Mini many moons ago. Mine even still had the centre caps.
They are though not that rare here in Austria, due to the vicinity to their origin country.
I keep my Heligan pineapple jam in Mk1 glass washer bottles
