How do you know it is a 2 speed wiper? Also has extensions on the light and wiper switch plus a cold air intake pipe for the heater. 
Looks just like my engine bay? Jan 1969 Mk1 S

I know that car, he has owned that for years. He lives in the Blue Mountains. It was almost a twin of my car! His car has had a hard life but not as hard as mine! This was my Cooper S when I got it in about 1981.. 
And how it looks now....

And you're saying HIS car has hard a life.
If I remember correctly, the owner of that mini drives to Mt Panorama every year for the races from the Blue Mountains, and in 2006 he just happened to spot a load of minis parked on the side of the road and decided stop by for a chat. |

It is like watching a small child dying of cancer! Can it be saved or is it terminal? |

It just needs a lick of paint. |
