I thought there was something wrong with my eyes there for a minute...! Also has the wrong grille and there's no brightwork round the tops of the doors.... should the carpet be red or grey...?
There are a few Mk1 and Mk2 998 Coopers that have been sat around for ages in the same price bracket.

Nice car, but a few things to correct: the mirrors on the doors, the mk.3-on scuttle panel (extra wiper holes), the red carpet and the mesh grille on the bulkhead instead of the fresh air trunk. And the wheels...

I think it would look better with a black roof rather than a white one, still not 'right' but a complete repaint into Tweed Grey below the gutter would be expensive.surfblue63 wrote: ↑Sat Sep 05, 2020 10:35 ambut not "correctly"Old English White wrote: ↑Sat Sep 05, 2020 8:32 am "Intelligently restored and nicely detailed" according to the sales pitch

I think the sellers assessment score of the van is a bit generous!

Sadly, some arse will restore it.
That wants the absolute bare minimum to avoid ruining it.
