Surely if that was the case it should be described as a "A frame".

On the upside, Great Yarmouth is on the coast, so it shouldn't be too far from a cliff to drive it off for the good of humanity.

Christ, I didn't see where it was located - far too close for comfort

I've never seen it on the road or at any shows, which is a blessing

THE CAR HAS THE ORIGINAL NUMBER PLATE I MIGHT BE REMOVING IT BECAUSE I HAVE HAD IT FOR A FEW SOME TIME AND IT WILL BE REPLACED WITH A AGED RELATED PLATE BUT IT DEPENDS WHAT THE CAR MAKES IM NOT SURE YET...

So I might plate rape it or I might not... Great selling technique. Can't see CYP being popular initials except amongst those of Greek descent perhaps.

The seller, though clearly mad, does have a set of Innocenti door chromes which I think some one was looking for a while ago:

Maybe not for his price though....

He also has these:

Which are probably (in my opinion) some of the best looking aftermarket wheels for a Mini.

I got a complete set of Innocenti door glass with opening quarterlights from that chap. Amazingly they got all the way from Croatia to Devon without damage.

Great Yarmouth is in Norfolk so you might have to suffer further embarrassment to find that cliff.

There are a few here Surf. I think you'd just have to park it on the cliff edge before an impending storm or high/surge tide and it would never be seen again, such is the erosion rate of some our coastline

Happisburgh is a good place to start

He seems happy

He'll probably be happier if he actually manages to SELL the ghastly thing

PS, is this the most tenuous link to The Beatles ever seen?

I have read an article about that 6 wheeler somewhere.

Looks good....but should the regulator be on the inner wing like that?

From what is visible in the pictures it does appear to be.
On the plus side it appears to have the body number intact on the bonnet slam panel, so should be fairly easy to determine.

As said looks promising, certainly if the body number matches up. Shame it's missing the chassis/engine number and speedo!

Yes, I do like the look of that.....but there are some people out there who are very good at faking Cooper S's....be cautious ! ( if you're that bothered ).. Body number is a bonus and should tell all.
