It's not just the rear screen that is Mk 2! This is how it looked in the 1980's.
Who'd have thought THAT would end up with a £30,000 price tag! The original shell must have been REALLY rough if that one was considered a big improvement!
Not the nicest lamp conversion admittedly but an interesting car, I do seem to remember being told many years ago that this car had been Radfordised in the late 80's/early 90's though the ad description suggests original paperwork? Anyone? ( Nev ! )

yuck
those lights don't really work with the moustache do they, they look much better when used with a merc type grille.
Oh that brings back memories!! looks like one of my early grass track cars, Has a dural rear beam which I'm sure was sold by Ripspeed back in the day and just a general Mongrel look about it. Don't stand too close it might bite!!!

I've checked my suspicions with that car and I'm correct in saying that it was built specifically as a 'replica' in the early 90's using some 70's W&P parts screwed to a 1967 Mini Auto (not Radford parts). If someone has shelled out £20K on that car, which it appears they have, with the idea that it's an actual Radford (or W&P!) as described they're gonna be in for a bit of a disapointment.

It wasn't me Pete . I didn't know the history of this car, but with a full 60's W&P interior and Radford badges it never really sat right with me. I know the seller had a lot of paperwork from W&P and Radford but it could have been the 90's W&P and Radford company's ????? I don't know!
Not sure Nev, but considering it wasn't built by either company it's curious why it had any Radford or W&P paperwork at all. Last time it sold it was very transparently described as a replica and the previous owner that took it to Bulee didn't try and bluff anybody that it was real either.
