Thanks Mark. Yes this will be a future project. It was absolutely not planed, but I couldn't let her pass by. Now the long search for Radford doors or at last the windows starts.

Today I had to rearange my garage layout to find enough space to bring the Radford into my garage.
so long
the Doc

I almost said ding dong, but actually it has older switch gear and indicator stalk, but rod change.
I'm going to say it's pretty scarce, rod change but pre rubber mount front frame

If you’re going to report every 1071 built from an old logbook you’re going to be a very busy boy!

Couldn't agree more.
Just rooting through my collection and saw a couple of Linreads at the bottom of a box.Once liberated they were only the Ford single screw type. Did a quick Google and someone's asking £79 each :o Who says Mini motoring is expensive.

I reported the listing not the item.

So the logbook and engine is £15k. And with the shell (restored many years ago) it’s £28k. It needs painting (and an engine rebuild) but could be on the road in a weekend! Wow and I thought Nick Wardley didn’t hang about. 😆
