Incredible to think that 60's basic owners would barry their 850's up as Supers !! Perhaps they reshelled/replaced 90% of the metal and still called them 'original'. And in some cases, the Heritage trail comes back as SDL ? :? How strange
Kinnel. :lol:

I think that the mid ground between both arguments here is that we all like minis,but because there are so many "mini's" ( not just mk1's ) it is quite nice to have some thing a little bit differant or rare.

As for it being a poor cooper, it's just unfortunate that it was so simmilar.

I think a 'super' would be a nice , quicker than a MK1 848 Hornet/ elf :!: :lol:

then again a 'super' with a Speedwell alloy head and a pair of Amal's would be nice :o :geek:
