A nice looking Mk2 in need of some details putting right, and it's also gone dry.

Seems to have acquired later pedals and drawstrings instead of chrome interior door handles, shame about the Mk3 steering wheel centre too.
Currently bid to £9,000 with 6 days to run.
That looks brill. Certainly well documented

Pretty much identical to the one I owned when I was 19, except mine was never in such good condition.
If the planned house move had gone ahead I'd be sorely tempted.
Wonder what the reserve is?

The more I look at it the more niggly little things I notice! All easily corrected though.
- No script on the heater (looks like gloss not crackle)
- Ears on the radius arm grease points (deleted by '69?)
- Missing draught excluders from between the sliding window panes
I'll get my anorak...

I admire people who have this detailed knowledge but I think on reflection, rather than have a museum piece (and have it picked apart), I'd rather have have a good looking, fun to drive mongrel. Maybe in Tartan Red and Black in memory of HNK 777G.

I have to agree, much as I seem to have accumulated far too much useless information over the years my Mk2 Cooper would displease the originality police in many areas!
I also decided long ago that I preferred driving Minis to cleaning the b!**%y things (hazardous occupation!)

Have to agree, back in the day, whole point of a Mini was to personalise it, not many were as they left the factory.....

Except it is the wrong size - 32 ounce rather than 16 so too big….
I've told the seller who has thanked me for the information... but not changed the listing claiming it is suitable for a 1959 Mini....

40K for a 998 with quite a bit of incorrect detailing
They look a bit silly with "S" brakes and reverse rim wheels don't they?
