I don't honestly think the "Downton History" is anything to get too excited about, but the shell looks fairly solid, despite the bonnet having a bit of an "Overbite".

That is utter madness :lol: you can't blame the seller though . It amazes me how much some people are prepared to pay . Do you remember the HEALY rocker I put on ebay . I had to realist it because as rich said on a mini the logo was the wrong way round . It made £476 when re listed .

I'd be interested to see proof that car had Speedwell bits put on it in period because last time it was for sale up here it looked like it had just had a carb kit and badge screwed to it. Looked pretty rough in places too.

That's a real peach not many chances to own such an original example.

Anybody know the story behind it. How has it remained so well preserved.

Can anyone remember how much it was first advertised for ? Does seem a real gem . Yes must agree strange way to advertise such a nice car . That's the sort of mini find that's been making fortunes in auctions of late . 997 is not everyone's cup of tea though ..
