Found above racing Austin Mini (Cooper S ?) mk1 in another forum.
Does anybody know it and about it?
Last V5 issued in 2006, tax due since 2010 and currently not residing in the UK

I kinda like the style, which might be an eyesore for the purists.

What are your thoughts. Worth buying if the price is right?

Buy it!
Depending on engine and gearbox spec it could be a fun drive on twisty roads early weekend mornings, or trackdays?
Not the biggest fan on deseasming, but better get it back up running than gathering dust in a garage?

I had a chance to talk to the widow of the last owner.

She said it was raced in the past (60ies, 70ies maybe) in UK by a more-or-less famous racing driver called "REED" or "READ"
suppose it's not Phil Read, or did he race cars too? The lady said the previous owner was kind of well known in motorsports, but she could not tell more.

I will go and check the car once we can travel abroad again. Until then, can anyone shed more light on this Mr. Reed?
