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)

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

From the pictures that Inno looks pretty genuine, few small bits missing here and there but nothing major. tidy little project. The seat covers have the wrong cloth inserts though, but the material is easily found. The Newton stuff is a pretty close match, not so for the carpets I hear and (tidy) originals are like hen's teeth.
Of course I know what a dipstick is, you get called something often enough you look it up!

Many more pics on the sellers website

Odd that it says the car started as a 1275GT when it has a round nose, but then when you look closely at the pictures and the V5C it all becomes apparent.

careful with that axe Eugene.jpg

Also has the same note on the 1987 V5, so the car was rebuilt in its first 10 years.

I saw him at Brightwells once, with a film crew in tow. I never did see the show on TV so I guess it must have got forgotten on the cutting room floor.

Thought I remembered seeing him on TV, it was on Channel 4. Surprised he's lowering himself to selling a Mini.
