Looks like an excellent buy for someone, shame it's lost it's carpets etc. At 9,000 miles, they should have been well useable.

Being a painter I’m going to colour match that cable and paint my new black cable . If some members don’t know , what you need to do is add plenty of flexible additive to the paint so that you can reasonably bend the cable without the paint cracking . Wait to beaulieu next year ! . I’m bound to have a few people telling me it’s a rare cable

The stuff above is what I looked at, it is WAY too thin.

I only say this to save anyone else wasting their money

[Exminiman]

shame, colour looks close though, which is encouraging.

I had wondered if colour might not be available due to some environmental reason...

[mk1]

The colour is bob on.

Maybe we shouldn't be so surprised at the madness developing. I'd noted one sold on ebay in 2009 at £158 and one in 2010 at £215 which, given how much mini parts prices have increased since then, almost makes this one a bargain!

I’d love it but this:

Delving into the Moke's design history, I had forgotten that Sir Alec Issigonis had been the brains behind the “Moke” as well as the “Cooper”; he really was a brilliant and revolutionary designer as he used an identical engine, transmission and suspension parts to the Cooper and as a result, it was really fun to drive.

Kinda made me vomit violently, I don’t really think he had forgotten.
