Quote = "THE HISTORY AND WORK DONE ON THE MINI IS ALL IN A FOLDER WITH IMAGES OF THE CAR RACING RACING IN THE 1965 ALPINE RALLY".

Interesting, didnt know the works had access to the MK III in 1965

Well we live & learn (even more from sales ads)

that must be beyond economic restoration, surely

the pillers look to have gone at the tops.

still, at least the seller is honest about the state of it, so fair play to him

love the way the grille is hanging in there whilst all the supporting tin has long since departed.....

Think it has some help (lots of it) from the strap, in the hole for the bonnet opening handle.

If that is the state of the flywheel then the engine deff. needs upgrading!!

Great to finally get a look "in the shed" , have been waiting a long time!!!!!! & can't say I'm very impressed!!!!!!
It's always the blokes with the fat birds that think they've get the best looking girlfriends.

in the shed quote " I have a scrapyard by me with all sorts of exotica (rusty & ruined) in it "
You've been a bit quite recently but we now know exactly where you've been hiding..........down the scrapyard

It has been "in the shed" for years.

Was a very nice engine in it's time. Head is amazing. The flywheel is something I would have binned, but it may be of use to someone and may clean up, hence 99p.

BMW head going on it.

Looks like the wording " RACED UNDER REG EBL 56C THEN ABW 85H " has been removed from the advert. You can still find it if you Google ABW 85H and other interesting related facts.

Yeah really like that, always fancied one, Motoring News used to full of em for £400, used to ring them so my Dad might buy one when I was a boy !, but not keen on the rear lights on this one

I'd have this if I had more space

Just need to get drawings to build a home made Dyno to graft onto it.
