It's not difficult - But current owner clearly oblivious to the Elephant in the room regards body differences... Think there is a nice project in there somewhere but certainly not as suggested!
"it has the Mk1 rear lights, fitted by a previous owner" but they forgot to add "whilst he had his eyes shut, and using a spoon"

Honestly, how can anyone make such a cack handed effort to put a bit of body filler on?

Yes you have to pay a lot for the little stamp on those.

These look much the same for a fraction of the price

Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/182396959160

As a result of buying my chocolate biscuits in Aldi my restoration has progressed at a rapid rate ! Does this mean my car will look as good as the Clubby estate ?????

They only made 4,986 Mk1 Morris Cooper S in Australia, starting in 1965. The first engine number was 9F/SA/Y 36207

Never heard of Iris Blue in Australia either??? Looks like a new ID plate to me.

Nice car but one would have to take the ID with several large grains of salt...... The numbers are well outside the range of Oz Ss.. A lot of trouble has gone into the reverse stamping of the ID plate ..but just doesn't match the original style.

Nb cars are 64 and earlier .... which means any genuine cars would be UK imports... Most are 850 shells although I know of at least one genuine 997 (now 1275+ with S badges).

Cheers, Ian
