Mk2 rear light conversion and wrong boot - but something here for someone I'd imagine? It even has the early heater tap so that's a few quid - ha ha ;-)

Kees mentioned this one a few pages back when it was £8000.

Not just a rear light conversion, looks like a full Mk2 rear panel has been fitted at some point. Maybe it had a bump in the late 1960s and was repaired using a new panel.

Didn't spot that - sorry Kees, and yes, its the panel isn't it?

As ever with Innocenti, what a brilliant (and very Italian) dashboard! Really puts the BMC one to shame.

I think it's bloody awful. :lol:

Pininfarina did a masterful job on the original Morris 1100 - such a simple and elegant design and I love the Morris dash. The Innocenti version is very fussy.

I wonder if any of the various ADO16 dashboard designs will actually fit inside a Mini - or are they just a bit too wide...?

I did see a VdP dash in one years ago, probably narrowed down. Iirc, the dash one some was in two halves but I'm fairly sure the top vinyl rail was one piece...? Or vice versa.

Surely a later repro - it has white gear change marks not the original yellow.

Interesting rhd MK2 Riley Elf for sale in NL. I don't know what they've done to the roof though... If I had the space and need for another project I'd have a look as I do fancy an Elf.
