Approx late June to early July 1960 vin (37k) and shell (what's left of it). Everything else isn't even MK1.

She sit's pretty high

Pretty basic welding job on the floor as well.
The best repairs go un-noticed

The seller added a comment to his description after I suggested to him that it may be a mid 60 build date. I didn't even point out to him that my car was 2,600 in front of his at assembly and my heritage certificate states June 1960. I hope the bidders aren't counting on receiving a 59.

I can't figure out why it has a 1995 County Galway registration plate.

I did the same Keith. Doesn't like it does he. :lol:

I assume the plate is there to make it look more 'European'?

Very odd I agree.

If you were looking for a "very original" early Mini I don't think this one would be very high on your shopping list :(

I had an eBay email off him asking for details on why I thought it was wrong.

I ran out of characters in my reply!
