Still appears to have the rubber cover on the floor starter switch as well. Switch looks a bit second hand though.

I guess the registration is UH 1458, if the chalk scrawl on the number plate plinth is to be believed. Although having said that it looks more like a Morris 1000 one rather than a Mini one.

Washer pump still looks ok and there is at least one ok hub cap.

Not much for your 200quid.....

I'd love to know how folks can make some sort of travesty but stand back and think, yeah I did a real good job there.

That Cooper leaflet is a good little read, I had one years ago. At the purchase price with the shipping though, it does look a bit expensive :lol:
