That was very observant RPB203. The answer could open that can of worms up even wider!

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
