Alas, none of those Kiwi cars are in the system. Could still exist rotting away somewhere.

It may just be the photography but that car seems to have an extraordinary amount of negative camber at the front

Just the usual Cowley factory tolerances I'd say.....

Also neg at the rear ?

Yes, I agree. There certainly looks to be something odd about the stance but I don't know what. The car is rather a bitza I think with the odd badging etc. It looks as if the front indicators are working as sidelights and there is some sort of bracket or something beneath the grille. I also noticed that it doesn't have any bumper corner bars which would have been standard on any Cooper. It's probably a bit of a test "mule" isn't it?

Are they flat indicators/ side lights, could it be a works lamp bar bracket below the grill?
I agree about the camber front and rear..

It’s an early smoke grey Morris 997 road test/PR car. It is wearing Austin badges and also had a right hand tank. It did 24 hours at Monthelry in France four up.
