Yep, like so many other UK S projects, it's a logbook and some badges. There'll be a few that want it though!!

Ahhh ! but it is down in Newquay, so it's probably immaculate underneath, and just made to look a bit "Surfy-Ratty"

Yepp - prices are up on genuine projects, and one as complete as this is not easy to find.

I Think the number plate will help as well.

GPA....

Abbrevation for Group A

I think that is the same GT as the one stood outside on Somerford Mini's previous premises for many years. I have taken a picture in 2002 and 2009 (iirc) and it was just as bad then....

not sure about the chequered stripe over the bonnet and other misc details like its price....

has this had a clubman front fitted for the 8 port or what's the story?
I'm noticing the RH cancel wipers too.

Possibly the most famous privateer rally car and one of the most successful of the era and had a clubman front for most of it's rally career! Featured in and sponsored by Cars and Car Conversion magazine?? Come on lads, keep up!

Totally agree Pete, this was the last competitive Mini in the early seventies that I seen in action. Back then as you say it had the Clubman front. From my memory it was as competitive as any of the works cars. I know a gentleman who loves that car so don’t be surprised if it heads across the Irish Sea
