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 ?

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 :lol:

I'll buy the match if someone buy's the petrol and we'll post it to him. If there was any justification for selling a log book this should be it! :lol: :lol: :lol:

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