Re: boot lid question
That was very observant RPB203. The answer could open that can of worms up even wider!

Re: boot lid question
Hi guys, I have only just spotted this after 5 Yeats but the car at Beaulieu is nine it did have a mk 3 boot lid but had to put a mk 2 one on as I think it looks better , I am hoping to be a Beaulieu this year !surfblue63 wrote: ↑Fri Jul 28, 2017 3:45 pm And here is the Aqua car at Beaulieu last month. It was the only Mk3 colour car in the line up. Eagle eyed will notice that it has a Mk1/2 boot skin.

Re: boot lid question
I agree Ken, a real show stealer. To be honest, being a full and absolutely total restoration, he could have done it any colour he wanted. BUt he stuck to the most unloved colour of the century - and good on him.
I have a funny feelinb that it was numerically one of the first (or the last) of the Mk2 Coopers with a Mk3 colour scheme
