1963 Countryman Smooth roof

[rolesyboy]

Ta da. My latest bewt. July 1963 Smoothie. Very complete and pretty solid. Original front panel etc.
Deciding how far to go with this one. Thinking make it roadworthy, sling a roof rack and a 1275 in it and just enjoy it.
Anybody recognise it from years gone by?? Been in a garage ..ooops,I mean 'barn' for the last 25 years. Pretty sure a similar DER plate is on a Fiest Yellow 1071 S somewhere on the forum.

Hello

Lovely car!

Will you restore it a little bit?

Or just an engine swap??

Nice find Mark. Looks to be an honest unmolested example, but then again, I am biased.
keep us updated with the progress.

Now that does look like a SWEET little project!

it looks like its got headlining glue on the outside of the roof!

nice!

Hahahaha, that has made me chuckle Rich. Funnily enough the headlining inside is mint. Great little car and a bit different for me. Swifty suggested go all the way and slot 'S' type running gear in it. Ummm, that juist cost me a family holiday. Look out M-Machine.

Remember my dad going to look at a 997 Cooper, reg number on that was 37 DER.

Really look forward to updates on this car, exactly what I was after to put my Alexander 7 port head on. I have a soft spot for smooth roof's.

Sell me your 7 port and make us both happy lol
