Ownership history of the 'First Mini off the line' (621 AOK)

[Striped shirt]

Back in the mid 90's I was doing my design degree. I was doing something at the Design Museum in London and 621AOK was there as part of an exhibition, can't remember what it was.
Anyway..... I had a good clamber inside and out when none was around. I was surprised that it was quite tatty. I remember inside of the boot being painted black and the battery in it was just plonked inside it.
I was quite surprised, but actually it was a period correct car that was very much like an honest 35 year old used car.
Like everyone here, I love a restored, correct in every way Mini. I also love a ratty tatty Mini that has been driven, repaired and just used. This cannot be faked.
It would be a shame to restore 621AOK, it is unique and so everything that's 'wrong' is actually....right.
