Is that to align the brake pedal with the others ?

or is it part of that "fail-safe braking system" some works Mini,s had ?

I saw it in the Classic & Sportscar article, with GRX5D, but no picture of the pedal.

A previous owner of 454 KPO was trying to track it down a while back.

That might explain why there are no documents with the two cars on ebay.

It will be one to watch. What do you reckon £18k?

They both look like total and utter scrap to me.

No paper work, looks like no chassis or A numbers. 970 speedo in the car on the left with the recliners! Very hard to make the cars out without going up there for a chat with the owner and having a good look around!

Oranerover it would be fantastic to see you reunited with KPO but I fear if it is KPO on ebay you might have a problem get her ID back!
