So wrong on so many levels but then so truly awesome, a true testament to the 70's. It'll be a shame to see that restored !

Re: so wrong yet cool ?
wow, that's great
what a shame that someone will just throw it all away and turn out another 'factory fresh' concours car....
we should celebrate the 1970's and the cars that where produced by people in those days!!!

Re: so wrong yet cool ?
Is it wrong that I actually think that is one of the coolest Minis about!! So '70s - like your thread title "so wrong yet so cool"
Hope whoever buys it restored it to the exact spec it's sitting in today!

No No No!
It is truly awful, it was in the '70's and the passage of nearly 40 years has done nothing to improve it.
It needs to be destroyed

I'll buy the match if someone buy's the petrol and we'll post it to him. If there was any justification for selling a log book this should be it!

That's a piece of history that should be preserved, just like this Capri that was a Tatton Park a few months ago.
