Well it does hae a drip edge....and a rod change MkIII would have a square tunnel wouldn't it? Maybe a "crossover" year 75/6?
Seems to have an S front panel
"No welding required"
Not yet anyway. With those oversills you can guarantee that it soon will..

it looks like the entire floor and most of the transmission tunnel (missing gear hole...) are made for plates and patches as well.
verdict...
DOG!

oooh...I have one of those on a "parts car" with a 998. Also have the proper elbow. I think these can only be used with an electric fuel pumped car.

It's an auto as well, can't have been that many of those about when new let alone now.
It is a very early one as well, look at the bonnet hinges. That sort was only in for the first few months of mk3 before they reverted back to the original design.
Shame it has been let go that far.

Quite a nice early mk1 here, looks to have most of its original trim but less some of its body work.

Saw these on the bay:
Another early mk3, a 1969 this time:

The mk1 alluded to earlier, with only part of its body but with very good seats:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Morris-Mini-M ... 1799957264
Clubman with most of the work done, apparently:

With the state of the floor and welding on this van, the seller was a very brave person when getting the pictures. Apparently it was fitted with a 4 killer wasp heater and went to Norway:

This will not have done much. Mostly driven between cafes.....

An A40 for those wanting an alternate 2 door sports saloon:

As an ex-BT wire cutter I know the abuse those yellow vans suffered. A particular favourite was to switch off the ignition for a couple of seconds whilst going down hill, then scaring passers by with the almighty back fire when it was switched back on. Please do not try this at home!

all early clubmans had it, I guess they where using stocks up, or where trying to promote the 'new' clubman as been a better, smoother car to ride in than the normal mk3 mini
