Mr W was not a 'clubman' of any sort. He was a mate of arch bullshitter John Kelly.
Mr W applied for The Document when he was working on oil rigs. The Document was then applied to a Mark 1 S rally car driven by a local hero Paul who was a middle aged but very decent rally driver.
A new home was found for The Document, a stunning Maroon B Austin Mini. A real shame.
I like that phraseLooking more closely at it (and don't get me wrong - it is lovely and I'd like to own it...), it doesn't appear to be a 1962 van from the seats (welded rather than stitched seams, later frames), speedo (a 62 Austin would have had a cream faced speedo with no tenths) and position of the washer bottle (it would be down where the aftermarket horn is - not up on the bulkhead like later cars). Yes all of those things could easily have been changed admittedly. But on such a low mileage example? The number plates are of course also very new. I wonder if the body number on the slam panel matches the heritage certificate? It looks to me like a 1964 van that may have had an id change at some point?Old English White wrote: ↑Wed Oct 19, 2022 6:46 pm A great rarity, such a tidy early van. It'll attract a lot of attention. I expect he's looking for a high price.
I noticed the "Broadspeed" sticker in the rear window and wondered whether he'd acquired the van from the same source as his infamous early Cooper S

you might be right, cant see the remote cut-out, its a bit blurry though. Also what are the trim bits below rear windows ?whistler wrote: ↑Wed Oct 26, 2022 10:56 amDon't think that's a Cooper shell.Exminiman wrote: ↑Tue Oct 25, 2022 8:11 pm 64 cooper project https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/275510401679 ...

Looks like it has had Elf/Hornet trim on in the past, as there are fixing on the scuttle as well. Could it be a long lost Radford?
