Well I've heard many things about rare parts on this mini and the rarest I've been told is the centre console does anyone had a pic of this as I can't seem to find it?

I have this picture, there was one on ebay not that long ago that sold for £11.00, which I missed out on :mmkay: I'll see if I can find the listing later on.

I've got a brand new original mini special centre console circa 1970's/80's under my desk in work, can take some pics for you next week?

I bought a generic one from Halfords in 1987, at the same time as a glue-on wing mirror.

 

They probably don't do them anymore due to the wrongness of them both  :proud:

I paid 40 for mine in a fairly rough condition so that gives you an idea of the money they tend to fetch, but they are very cool

I used to just have a metro centre console in mine, looked alright but not as good as the 1100 special one.

No problem, didn't realise they were in such short supply, it's sitting in the corner with a pile of papers on it.

Pics as promised:

That's in great condition...usually they have dents on the upper surface to the left or right of the gearstick hole due to front seats being pushed forward onto it. Yours is missing a few bits, namely the speaker and speaker grille, the clock and cig lighter and the metal bracket which attaches it to the lower dash rail.
