Doesn't look like a S to me either. Liked the removed boot badge. How rare is it that someone photographs an S for sale with no under bonnet photos? The green one parked behind it probably is an S.

I think it's an even rarer super deluxe.

Certainly has no twin tank fitted, the wrong front panel brace in it, and the wrong trim.
Interesting that it is missing engine, speedo, brocade trim!

I suspect it may not have an S solenoid bracket either :lol:

Definitely not an S. Its a super deluxe. Identical to mine. Except mine isn't rotting into the earth. Maybe he's confused with the green one as it clearly has no right hand tank or brocade trim?

Vous etes un comedien, oui? :shock:

Not even a super deluxe, Daniel. Look at the steering column bracket!

I'll give him 500 quid for the log book though! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I thought hinged rear windows and over-riders pointed to super deluxe?

Seems like it's a late-ish Mk1 Super Deluxe with an S log book thrown in for good measure to increase the value. I can hear the sound of distant bells :roll:

Not many '65 Minis around in island Blue, and it's no lesser a genuine S than most i've ever seen. :lol:

It's not like he's disguised it and for the money it's not that far off for a logbook and shell ?
