I always say with a repair bench and a dozer one gets everything straight but in this case I had to admit that the body is lost.

I seem to remember Ponch (Erik Estrada) used to call Jon Bakers (Larry Wilcox) Mini a shoebox!
I wonder if that Mini still exists?

We serviced the mini at my shop for the guy Larry Wilcox purchased the mini from. I think he worked for Warner Bros. film studio.
The car was painted in dark bronze with a black roof,5 inch Mk. 2 Cosmics,no sunroof or flares. It might have been surf blue/white originally.
It might have had a 1071 in it with a light flywheel as it really revved easily. Also had a 28/36 Dcd Weber and a loud exhaust.
The car was at my shop when Larry and his friend stuntman Bud Davis came to look at it prior to purchase.( Those guys were a lot of fun).
Mike Fennel's body shop probably added the flares,sunroof and paint as they could do that kind work in a day or two.The Benelite grill and driving
lights were on the car prior to LW's purchase.
I think that's about it.
