So wrong on so many levels but then so truly awesome, a true testament to the 70's. It'll be a shame to see that restored !

wow, that's great
what a shame that someone will just throw it all away and turn out another 'factory fresh' concours car....
we should celebrate the 1970's and the cars that where produced by people in those days!!!

Is it wrong that I actually think that is one of the coolest Minis about!! So '70s - like your thread title "so wrong yet so cool"
Hope whoever buys it restored it to the exact spec it's sitting in today!

Shag pile,velour,wood veneers or melamine all overdue a revival ?
You could have some serious fun with that at concours events !!

No No No!
It is truly awful, it was in the '70's and the passage of nearly 40 years has done nothing to improve it.
It needs to be destroyed

Watch the jaws drop as you turn up at Beaulieu in that . Lol.
I think it's ok . A representation of 70's car culture .

That's a piece of history that should be preserved, just like this Capri that was a Tatton Park a few months ago.
