thought this might be helpful for reference This is the mini I saw at Bathurst, its totally original with nothing done but oil changes, not the best but for a reference it might help some one with parts or locations..
hope this helps some one.
Just stumbled across this old thread with this great original car.
I just love seeing car's that are not afraid to "show their age" so to speak.
Anyhow it has prompted me to ask a couple of questions esp. as it is pretty close to my car (about 200 apart) and same colour.
1. Where were the original horns mounted on late 68 Cooper S, mine is mounted on the inner guard panel just below the front of the booster but I have seen others bolted to the bonnet close panel.
2. When (car number??) did they stop using the chrome steering column bracket?
3. By late 68/69 did the trim on the door and window seals match the upholstery or were they all black regardless.
Cheers
