...And then I bought this of his neighbour...

...who has owned it from new and stopped driving it in 2000 when the radiator went. 1972 Mini 1000, 40k from new and I'm hoping it's not too bad, I didn't really get to look too closely but the interior looked okay and it's on hard standing.

Run a hose over it and watch it sail to 4 figures on the bay, lucky bastard!

[scruff]

Nice!!

Hope the A pillars aren't made from old newspapers Could be a shrewd investment.

There is rot at the bottom of the drivers A post but I'm hoping it's not too bad!

Les is gonna be busy - bloody hell Vek I thought you were meant to be cutting the fleet not going for the 'Bickel Cup'

[eddyramrod]

There's just no stopping some people! Shouldn't be too hard to make a nice Mini out of that...

[pogweasel]

Aye, just bosh the plates & tags on a later one. JOB DONE.

Freaky mind meld with the Pog!

I can't see that being anything other than a WISE INVESTMENT. At least it might get restored at some point, or robbed of ID.

Looks a cute little motor nestled in the shrubbery It would also look perfect kept unwashed, rust on show, and taken to some stuck up Mini club show 'n' shine event

All of these suggestions are good ones.

A bloke at work is after a mini project if you want rid

[mk1_4dr]

GR9 work chap.

[retrogeezer]

get in touch with wheeler dealers where they can 'restore' it for £3.59..

[Torsten2001]

I spoke to Les today and he's as excited as I am, can't wait to have a fettle!

I much prefer the older rear clusters without the reverse lights.
