Last registerred in 1988 ? Almost looks like a setup magazine photo of the typical "paddock find" ... What's the story behind it , it someone gunna do it up or is it just waiting because they think it's super rare and one of the handful of cooper s's left and is worth $20,000 in that condition ?

If the pics are the same as the post above, I grew up around the corner from this guy and the mini was there when I moved out in 1992, was still there just on a month ago when I went for a drive past the old place.

I must say hi to him next time I run in to him.

The chap that owned it in the 80s wanted to make contact with the current owner. Anything you could do would be much appreciated.

He painted it Mercedes Metallic Blue but originally it was Cadet blue Ex police.
