Another advanced prototype 1990 mini built in 1968....

Nice early SDL here, still has the correct grille on it.

Hope it goes to someone who will return it to its former state and not turn it into a pseudo-cooper

That looks like a Super that has already had its interior stolen for a Cooper :roll:

That Super's in amazing condition for that sort of UK mileage! I bet the trim was similar, what a shame! Still a great project and mega rare.

This is one of the super rare wand change Cooper gearboxes.

Supposed to be new.... However I thought the gearbox only got painted green when assembled to the engine.

The majority of non car people call every Mini a "Mini Cooper"....

I get asked all the time if my car is a Mini Cooper. Technically it is a Morris 850 and wasn't officially called a Mini and isn't a Cooper :lol:

The seller also has one of the ultra rare Midget 4x4 engine and transmissions as well.

Wow, what a bewt! Made good money for sure but one of the most original unmolested cars I have seen for a long time. Bet the Super register would love to find out where that's heading.
The best colour too.

Being such a solid looking car and judging by some of the mad money bid for earlier, worse cars I thought it would go for more.

Maybe the lack of interior was the downer?

Here is a DL in the same colour which looks as solid but for a lot more cash.
