Still appears to have the rubber cover on the floor starter switch as well. Switch looks a bit second hand though.

I guess the registration is UH 1458, if the chalk scrawl on the number plate plinth is to be believed. Although having said that it looks more like a Morris 1000 one rather than a Mini one.

Washer pump still looks ok and there is at least one ok hub cap.

Not much for your 200quid.....

That Cooper leaflet is a good little read, I had one years ago. At the purchase price with the shipping though, it does look a bit expensive :lol:
