Is it the same car that Westwazza mentions
here?

After trolling all the usual places, I came across a nice advertised Mk2 Cooper S in the Sunshine Coast of Qld. I made the call, got some details from the owner who said the car was a genuine Mk2 S and he was the second owner since a full rebuild about 12 years ago. He told me that an ex race driver named Paul Gulson had built the car. I knew the name, did a little background research later and found his mini history and racing history. (3rd Bathurst 1980 etc etc...) He said to ring Paul as he would be able to provide some more details about the car. This owner had never spoken to Paul Gulson about his car.
I rang Paul and he remembered the car, building it and what it started life as. That wasn't a Cooper S. It was something rather less that had been built into a very nice 'replica' with most details correct. He told me details of the build and that it would be a very nice car if it had been maintained, which I believe it had been. That news of it being a replica was disappointing as I really was after a genuine car. I told Paul that I was looking for a genuine car.
It sounds like the gift that keeps on giving.
