Possibly form an innocenti mini
It slightly resembles a 1275gt exhaust, in the fact that the dimension of the pipe increase's between the two silencers and the tailpipe.
But the mountings and front down pipe look wrong for a GT, so thats what makes me think possibly innocenti

So the rear silencer is the same as Cooper? If so I'll just cut it off and use it on my 1071:)

It looks very much like a 1275GT system with a modified down pipe to fit a short 3-branch manifold. I never understood why they used different pipe diameters, narrow at the front & normal Cooper / S at the rear. If the rear silencer has 1.75" O/D pipes at each end, it should fit your 1071 perfectly. I have often used the rear silencer of these systems for Cooper or Cooper S fitment, they sound good, as well.

What ever it is, make sure you get it blasted, and Alloy coated, so it dont rust

The downpipe of my 1275GT system is much longer. Boxes look the same.
