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)

How good is the deseaming ? Unless you know the history or have some good photos, would make me uneasy......

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.

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.
