WTH??!?! Have you seen this item on ebay.

[Andrew1967]

Well this is a new one to me.

Not saying the information is incorrect, just never knew of this detail ... better check my wheels !!

Me neither - I can see the differences. Interesting!

Someone said to me the other day : that car is just one step further than just writing ‘Mini Cooper’ on the boot of an 850 with a biro.

Seems to of had the bids deleted and listing has vanished ........but it was north of £16k last time i looked......

Probably because one of his mates would have won it otherwise

1960 on ebay, seems to be very close to a 1959 from my limited knowledge....did 1960 have a glass washer bottle ?

Looks a nice car......but the age related bits will become the focus....

I challenge anyone to read the whole description (In capitals) without losing the will .......

Interesting to compare that with this one that is up for auction next week, which one is more original? Looking at the interior of the auction car I would say that one is. That Newtons stuff just looks very very wrong.

Makes you cry.......”sympathetically restored” like taking an antique cupboard and putting Ikea doors on it ...

I think the '61 part may have came from an antique cupboard .. allegedly

I wonder what horrors are hidden beneath the load bay lining

But here they talk about it was tuned by DOWNTON https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/234306594757 ... SwTmBhnNp2 1960 AUSTIN SEVEN MINI ''DOWNTON''

[Costafortune]

They both look fine to me although I'd prefer the auction car. I'd be too busy out driving either to care about any minor details. £20k for the 'Downton' one is a touch salty but not far off.

That’s a good point he runs a company raffling off Minis online. The more you hear, the more it all stinks.

Yes, they are

Thanks for posting the link up.

Was going to get a pair rechromed, when I could find a decent enough pair to do so. This save the effort.
