Bugger, it just needs a little tender loving care and it will be back on the road!

In all seriousness, the tin surrounds for the rear side windows are NLA, I believe and those ones look in pretty good nick (above the waterline). At the very least there's probably the basis of a trailer left in that shell. I don't understand the UK need to restore the most shagged of shells, but if I saw that car I'd certainly have a much closer look.

The photo's not much to write home about. There's a lot of photos of derelict cars rotting in fields...

I think that is the picture that the Sth Aust tourist dept use to advertise the yarra river. :lol:
But it does look much like the port river in port adelaide.

Any mini is worth saving even if it is to give it a decient burial :cry:
