cheers :)

Bought a full engine with 1128 box off facebook for £100 instead! It looks like it's been used as a ships anchor, bit I only want the casing.

Just another dreamer I reckon. Thinks a nice Mini MUST be worth 12 grand nowadays.

I like this one, even the rubber mats look to be in good condition:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Morris-Mini-M ... 2761388719
Very original, no kick plates on the doors, trim in good shape and apparently all there. That will make a very nice mid sixties car.

Not sure this is all it is purported to be:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1972-AUSTIN-M ... 2761388719

I don't recall the chassis plate reading Austin Morris group on my 1972 car, nor do I recall having the thin sheet style commision number welded to the front rail.
There are a lot of later features on it, grille, brakes, A plus engine, big brakes, later badges etc. but virtually nothing to indicate a 1972 build.

I think it deserves a big bell.....

jesus, nudging £5K or a project :shock: . Doesn't leave much budget to restore it! Looks a good shell though, maybe that's what it'll be bought for?

I quite like the "thing" with the expensive numberplate. It has all of the hallmarks of being owned by some hillbilly who hasn't got a clue what they've got. Looks like a genuine 1071 S with those wheels!

It does look like a later car, it might even have started life as a round nosed 1980s car looking at the servo brakes and the double column stalks with the indicators on the left.
It should also have a commission number next to the chassis plate.
By the way, all GT grilles are the same, it is just the way they are painted and the badges that are different.

And the cynical might suggest that the carpets have been thrown in the front to hide the square tunnel? :lol:

Absolute shameful cynicism. :? :|

I might even throw this in :

but wouldn't stoop that low.
