My only worry is getting those twin carbs through an emissions test for a 1997 Mini.

Looks like a fake advert to me. If you check the sellers other cars for sale they are all pictured in different places. I am sure this person has links with another account based in Teeside, with similar adverts. They are phishing for emails and telephone numbers

That was in the too hard basket, just the same as putting the rear silencer on the right way around was. :shock:

I'm not seeing much Mk 3 about that shell, square tunnel, later front subframe mounts, single cable handbrake etc.
