That's had a log book swap. Should have Morris Mini Cooper cast into the base, not Morris Mini Minor. Not to mention the later tyres, bonnet should be white and grille and bumpers should be silver. Value is about £1.
I just thought it was comically awful, never mind the details! Worthy of Timex Bob?

Just a minute, I am bedazzled by the headlights on this one
They're quite striking aren't they?

Beat me to it - is it part of a Morris badge?

It's also got one of those fairly common Copper engines

Looks like it's all Copper. Might be worth weighing it in for scrap.

For some weird reason they do seem to be very rare indeed, but that price is ridiculous!

So is this a 59/60 car ? looks like it might still have drum brakes as well, or might be the masking....

Is that price AFTER taking the slight damage into account
