not to be too corney but this 1960 mini was probably somebodies first new car and our idea of good taste and all that bs does really not relate to how things were then.i bet this car has a really good story and was well loved and enjoyed. it's "different" and i'd be very happy to own it.jw

Ditto.

TBH, I reckon that most members on here would be very pleased to own a Mini like the "Redex Special" it's quirkyness is its charm.

Another good looking fast Morris Mini..

Take a good look at the doors, they are MK3 but adapted to look like a MK1, very well done :ugeek:
