This one is a genuine, original, one owner 850. The story goes:

Purchased new in South Africa. The owners couldn't bare to part with it when they migrated to Aus so they brought it over with them and lived in Darwin for many years, then moved to Maryborough. This Mini has driven down from Darwin and done numerous other trips both here and in Sth Africa It's been rebuilt and resprayed a few times. The very lovely lady who drives it says her husband believes it has travelled over a million miles!! Hmmm, well at any rate this is an international Mini that is still a daily driver with it's original owners. Apparently all original and i think never been smashed.
