Yes it is! Missed that :roll: No surprise that punters pay such big money for original Mk1 S's is it , because so many aren't! That suddenly looks very expensive.

Think this is the same car Nick Rogers commented on FB ?

If it is ? = it then seems to have "a few" issues.

Thankfully I had near perfect originals to re-use on my carpets but these seem spot on by an aussie local......

Not a mini, but a Morris Traveller acting as a Registration Horse for a 1954 V5C jockey.

You're certainly right there. The car pictured is about 10years newer although he claims its "been in his family since new" :lol:

A 1954 one would have a split windscreen. I expect the original car was scrapped YEARS ago!

It's not just the rear screen that is Mk 2! This is how it looked in the 1980's.

JC as far as I recall this car got the rear end modified to receive a mk2 rear window. From what I'm told it's the original shell.
