Yes. The SLW car was the first of the Citron coloured to be used in Mr Bean.

The plate was also used on the car driven at Goodwood.

67 S on Carandclassic

Could well be an original S, might be photos but paint looks iffy.....

For my benefit, that “ Elephant Nose” fresh air hose, is wrong for year isn’t it ? I thought all post 65 cars should have a reducer to get round the servo....may be wrong though :?

Looks like an 850 shell??? Servo holes for example? Note no sign of trim on the doors, but could have been replaced of course.

Get yourself an ezeniper.com account, will bid for you at the very last millisecond.

Totally legit and it works, as I've used it.

The perfect project for anybody who wants to tie up £30k+ in an old Mini and put himself through 2 or 3 years of skinned knuckles, endless hours of pain, research, parts searching, domestic arguments, having no spare time for anything else and wondering if it wouldn't have been better to simply buy a decent one in the first place :lol:
It certainly isn't the first time that car has featured here is it. If you want to sell something on ebay, start the auction at 99p. You'll enjoy yourself, you'll get what it is actually worth (whatever that might be on the day) and you will actually SELL it! ;)

I do like the Avenger, looks like a pretty interesting example.
