If it's '65 it should be.

It was owned by a professional car restorer as his own project. I've been told all of the bodywork/structure has been repaired/replaced, then he died. His bread and butter was classic Aston's, jags, Ferraris etc, so hopefully repaired to a good standard.

Oof! Are they asking a lot for it?

I wish I got the opportunity to buy stuff like that.

I'm no mini aficionado but interior reminds me very much of our '64 mini estate my mum had 40 years ago. Door handles, trim sliding window etc. Does it have the bulb on the end of the indicator stalk? Looks genuine to me.

Do it! You're not going to loose out either way. if you get them at a good price.

I'm rather jealous.
