It's amazing what a shallow depth of field does to a mini, it really does make it look like a toy!

Beautiful car though & nice photos too, I like how it really draws to the tiny details like the grill and the headlight glass moulding.

The ignition switch is fitted with key going in upside down.

It also looks like there has been some selective sharpening and unsharpening on a couple of shots which really makes the car pop out of the background. It is neatly done (i.e. not overdone) and I would agree that they are nice photos.

Car looks great, I am not trying to be picky, But I see it has an early Cooper front chrome strip on one side and a later one on the other side ( stainless steel wheel arch Moulds )

That explains why they're two totally different lengths.

I can see many faults, both with the car and restoration but it is going, on the road and looking pretty nice.

Same colour paint and same trim as my dads long gone Austin 970S. I love the trim in those . Anyone know what colour it is ? Was there such a colour as delphinium blue ?

The colour is Surf Blue with an Old English White roof, standard colour schemes for UK built Cooper's and Super's from that era.

lovely little car - I just thought they could have wiped the oil off the rocker cover... even I'd give that a quick wipe over

Yeah, I noticed that too Simon. Easy enough to fix, wonder why it hasn't been.

I would be more concerned by the fact this shell has the holes for interior light switches....something 1071's did not have.

It is a really nice car and I love the colour, any 1071 is rare but this car is super special!
