Mike Youles' car that isn't it?
Most likely it has a fresh air heater fitted. This is a factory option, and is controlled be 2 cables.Chewie Baker wrote:Very nice indeed
I also have a '62 Morris, with the early type recirulary heater and was wondering what 'the rare control cables' are that are mentioned in this ad?
I thought it was just twisting the heater knob for on?
I believe it was built as such as the main driver only had an automatic licence, and the later switches where fitted for the ease of driving in trafficJC T ONE wrote:Pete wrote:For lovers of the auto box...

Whats the story on it ? seems like a mix of parts = no such thing as a auto boxed Mini in 1962.
its great to see something as individual and interesting as this has survived, and I hope its bought by a sympathetic owner who will restore it.Jamie wrote:Not mini based this "special".....

odd projects like this should be celebrated and cherished for what they are.
Say what you want about the car/lack of, but one thing it isn't is misleading! At least this seller is being transparent, that's a bloody rarity nowadays and no doubt will cost him dear when it comes to the final price. Re-shelled, re-imagined, whatever, you can't knock the seller. (and before you ask I don't have a clue who he/she is).In the shed wrote:http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1959-AUSTIN-S ... 3f43395e5d
Have you got this plate robbed ringer?
Are the people bidding on it smoking crack?
I just don't see the point of slamming parts or cars you're not really interested in , if the seller's trying to deceive then fair enough. It's not like it's a £30K flatpack!I agree, he sems to have listed this project quite openly with what is and isn't from the original car......and if true there will be more parts & panels from the original vehicle than many Mk1 Cooper S, etc that I saw restored in the 1980/90's which now sell for mega money. It could result in a very nice 'reconstructed '59 replica?' using period parts but still with a reasonable end value even when adjusted for its somewhat chequered history.Pete wrote:Say what you want about the car/lack of, but one thing it isn't is misleading!
