It's gone. I glanced earlier. It was a "rally" Mini.

I reported both Mini ads (there was also an Almond Green Mk2) from that seller as suspected fraudulent listings, looks like ebay took note.

I don't think I have ever seen such a strangely "modified" Moke.

The suspension is truly horrific. The rear suspension is poking through the rear wheel arches and the front suspension seems to be made up of massive pieces of angle iron shaped to fit the front wheel arches.

Lovely dash from a 1100 too. Perhaps that might interest Rich?

Best to start from scratch with a new body shell from M Parts. Details here.

I don't know how to respond to that. Maybe you should have a couple of fingers of scotch and some time to consider where things started getting weird. :)

I'm with you on that, what a cracking early Metro. Very inexpensive if you compare it to this.

ok its a very low milage, but how ever much you buy it for, its just going to a garage statue,
because any milage wear and tear will just de-value it.

plus thats a lot of money for a 80's mini. is there a market for people wanted to buy low milage 80's mini ?

nice find tho

Saw this on Catawiki:
http://auction.catawiki.co.uk/lots/6130 ... ent=active

It says originated in Italy, would that make it Innocenti built?

The heater looks different to the UK market and the instruments are very Innocenti like, I just didn't think they built the clubman cars.
