It does have a body number fitted but it is a much later front panel isn't it, so I wouldn't take TOO much notice of that

For a 35k starting bid you'd think they'd at least provide some history on the car, obviously couldn't be bothered, assuming it's easy money.

No that's not an Speedwell gearstick, the Speedwell one has a lose bolt not like this one.
DOWNTON Mini is what I like a lot.
Collecting 60th wooden steeringwheels.

The starting bid was £15,000 when I posted! Looks like it's been changed now.

I was wondering how long it would take before people would try to cash in on his passing

Looks like a 1967 RHD Radford Cooper S with 1966 LHD I.D. Maybe to avoid import duties back in the day! It’s also lost it’s electric windows and 1/4 lights at the doors have sliding window and the windows switches are on the dash.
