Hum, now let me think. . . . .

I wonder why 140 Chinese made Cooper type 3 into 1 manifolds are hidden away in a lockup in Shropshire?

I reckon the chances of the fitting are next to nothing!

Oh God. :roll:

These fabulous and popular little cars were designed in 1959 and were heralded as a new concept in car design. Little did they know or envisage what would become of these great models. BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH With a monocoque shell, transversely mounted engine and front wheel drive, the new 'Mini' soon became popular across the world and to all types of individual well healed or not! BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH The potential for competition use was soon seen by John Cooper; CHRIST, HOW MUCH MORE? he eventually persuaded BMC and the two worked together culminating in the birth of the Austin Mini Cooper and the Morris Mini Cooper in 1961. Victories in the 1964, 1965 and 1967 Monte Carlo Rallies set the Mini on the road to fame but probably the greatest publicity was gained from the, somewhat unfair, disqualification for lighting irregularities in the 1966 event after coming in 1st, OH SHUT UP TARQUIN FFS.

Pity it's a petrol manual as I wanted a diesel auto. W*nk*rs. :lol:

"Mileage believed to be genuine"

Why, because it says so on the odometer?🤔

Police cars cover big mileage before they are disposed of.

One of Mark's I reckon. The spacings between the AKD letters is very slightly more on the originals.
No criticism of Mark's great work at all mind you ;) A lovely thing to have.

Is the seller a forum member, and if not, someone is supplying this guy with them (if they are one of marks) surely words would have to be said to the seller if they are?
