The Ogle was advertised for sale in March for £10,000 and didn't sell, so wouldn't have thought it would get any offers near £13,000? Is the box section frame in the boot original or is it just holding everything together?

Looks very authentic - most of the correct bits there. One thing I noticed is that the engine number font is different to my car. Mine was built only slightly earlier so is it possible the font changed??

That looks like an absolute cracker!

AU19000 makes it about £9,700 which is an absolute BARGAIN!

Strange thing is the scrivets (and original plate) have been milled off. I'm guessing this was stamped after the head was decked in a previous life.

All Aussie cars had to have the vin & engine numbers positively stamped into imovable metal, so this is "normal" for antipodean Minis.
