Could be an interesting hill climb, race car....?

[InnoCooperExport]

I like the integrated arches on that! And I agree it could make a great hillclimber or basis for a car for FMITW.

Not sure what class it would have to run in if you hillclimbed it.

And I bet if you were to put it on the scales it wouldn't be much lighter than a steel car.

Still, an interesting thing though.

Does have a whiff of the Reliant Kitten about it....

Your bet would be right Mark , pretty sure I’ve read the GRP minis built in Chile and Venezuela were actually heavier than a steel bodied car , with very thick panels .

That (optimistically priced) Phoenix used to be mine. I ran it as a daily for about three years with a 1071 motor.

It weighs pretty much the same as a normal mini and the fibreglass quality is not great! It's also quite bendy, if you jack it up on either subframe the doors won't shut/open.

I absolutely loved it though, had to drastically thin out the fleet last year so I sold it to a mate for £300 - not the guy selling it now.

Thought early gearsticks were not Chromed, or until 64 ?

I've had chrome ones too. However they weren't intended for the mini but Hornet or Elf from what I've gathered. This one is quite bent though

Tidy '74 Innocenti Cooper, needs work though....

Quite local to me, if I had the space I'd be on it.

That looks a bargain. It is a German market car with non-opening door quarters and the special type arches. If anyone goes to see it make sure you check the chassis number is stamped on the right-side inner wing.

I'm very tempted Stu but I've run out of room now! Always fancied an Inno.

Oooh good spot Nidge, I’d be asking you to take a look if I had space…

Make the space pronto and I'll go and have a shuftie mate!!

I rather fancy this already modified '65 Mk1 too, might seem a bit pricey but it's exactly the sort of thing I'd like to do using a Mk1 as a blank canvas...

(I'd rather pick a mid period Mk1 to start with than a '59 or '60 etc)
