What a cracking little motor.
I'd like to be at Stanford Hall just to see the reaction.

Are those front arches made of leather?

they might look a bit 'organic' but they are made from the thin-est, most brittle plastic ever. one had been repaired with what looked like a bit of lino, but unfortunatley they broke and fell of - shame as im sure they would have been a strong feature in marks shop.

someone with even less taste than me has already emailed me 'boasting' (or confesing, take your pick) that he has a brand new boxed set in his loft, ive managed to resist purchasing such an unique and rear item from him!

the front arches are the worse bit - they dont even have any retro charm - thay just look crap

I came on the forum today excited to see your newest purchase rich, knowing you'd said you would be posting pictures, a mate of mine posted a picture of a mini on my facebook, I commented ' I really like that! honestly, Id not change a thing!' I then came on here, clicked on this page and there it was.... the mini my mate posted on my facebook! hahaa!

honestly though! you cant change a thing!! I even like the arches.... Made by Cosmic i believe...

they would look great on your minus..........

You lucky Rich !!!!!!
what a find, I really love it !!! Ohh God, another night of insomnia ...

You must not change a thing - not that easy, I reckon, if you want it roadworthy !

PS : what about your blue MK2 ?

I love it Rich. Next years concourse will be a breeze.
The interior reminds me so much of my first mini.
A kid near us had those arches 25 years ago. We all thought he had made them out of old dustbin lids.

Really nice find Rich!

Its got the same plastic dash as my 64 1071. What make is it?

Tim.

Nice find! Well worth the suspense just for those wheel trim attachments!

Mark.

Nice find, Its certainly a one off with all them mods!

Bring it up to date with some 'tasteful' neons.

As has already been said it would be great to see this one at Stanford Hall, maybe even working up to the Master 'Bates' Class.

Drop me a line next week and I'll speak to Tim on the exhibition/events side at work about maybe making up something with floor mirrors, a few lights, maybe even a strobe to set you up for the big prize!!! Ye baby!!!

PS I would have kept the Cosmic arches--you would provoke more people with them ON ha ha

Been trying to figure out what the TC actually means. Going on the fact that the previous owner must have had a sense of humour I'd vote for Total Crap.

heres picture of cover that goes with the SPQR remote



and the rubber mat in the rear - front one is missing which is a shame

There's one on greed bay at the moment Rich

Very nice project Rich! I like all the period accessories on it

Already been able to figure out what TC stands for? Turbo Cooper maybe?

twin carbs....

But what about the reg no?

It's got to be either Hardly Any Taste or perhaps wHolly Awful Tat
