Apparently the last MOT for the questionable Mini expired in 2014. 

 

Do they really get that rotten so quick?! Or is that more proof it isn't what it seems?

I have to say with these Porsche Covin copies I find it hard to tell them from original 911's.

Well, until you put the bonnet up anyway. Ford CVH powered 911, take that to pebble beech.

^^^Did the rear main windows wind down?

 

Those pre aircon era yanks were designed for maximum ventilation ability.

Usually all windows were downwindable, there were vent windows everywhere and big air vents in the dashboards and kick panels.

Rent you some storage in Buckie?!

If this car were a horse it'd have just been taken outside to be shot

'THIS WOULD MAKE A GOOD RS500 COSWORTH RE-SHELL'

 

No it wouldn't, it'd make a good 1.6 3 door with dangly mirrors, not some fucking stupid 'whale tailed' bubble arched bag of bollocks with a stolen engine.

 

I disagree. It needs a V8, and Banded Steel wheels.

The one's I looked at with 12 months MOT, all had dubious amounts of rot, and the one's I've owned (4 in total between 1988 and 2011) would probably fail an MOT 3 weeks after passing one. The rust just reappeared like cancer somewhere else on the car, plus if you put a biscuit tin over the rust it lasts about 3 months.

I imagine some sort of Zetec with 200 bhp would fit on the gearbox of a CVH ?

 

I am liking it too. Apart from the DODGY registration documents

Used to take loads of these from central Scotland to Hull L8 90s. For Russian cargo ships return voyages. Ruskies apparently stripped them on board and threw the shells overboard (citation needed).

I wonder if a single one of those 1.3 Pintos has survived?

I was just starting to think maybe I was been mean and should give the seller the benefit of the doubt

Oh....

 

As far as I can tell, the boot badge is correct for 1972, not 1980, but the steering wheel isn't.

 

Rear lights definitely aren't 1972, but they wouldn't be that hard to change.

 

I was browsing a mini spotter forum with loads of detail on how to spot fakes when a huge virus warning popped up so I gave up.

 

It would be interesting see the Chassis plate vs the V5c.

 

but probably not that interesting...I'm boring myself here.

'There was a 150,000 restored vehicle just sold for 16,000 euros'

 

 

​There's a scooter like mine on Gumtree for £650, wanna give me £575 for mine? Thought not.

Sadly a 1.3 auto was never offered, although that might not stop a determined masochist from creating one!

There was a 1.3 base 3 door on Ebay a while back, I don't know what became of it.  It had been off the road for a few years.
