Mike Brewer looks happy with his new toy!

Looks to be an earlier shell? High seat belts and no brocade at all!

Bill has already pulled him up on that, but he’s adamant it’s right.

Kn*b. Just my opinion sorry... The car , id, is a good one, chassis 76 'dry' 1275S Morris.

Definitely an earlier shell but it really shouldn't have brocade or Elf/Hornet trim






It should be Almond Green/OEW!

Totally agree with the knob part.

Considering he's bought it for himself and it's the car he's always dreamed of he should have had it checked out first. Obviously an earlier car than it's very new looking number plates! Really like the number though! Apparently it's missing it's S lump.

The MOT tester went to town on it last year!

Usually, I'd feel a little sorry for somebody who's been tupped up.........

I do believe I know that car from 20-30 years ago. It's a 1960/61 Cherry red Mini Minor shell and it went through various guises.

You think he would have at least got someone to look it over for him but then i've seen his Porsche 912 which is again a dogs dinner of bits!!
