The discovery and restoration of Morris Mini Minor - Chassis number 131

"He looked around and saw a lot of old sixties and seventies cars and Lorries. He noticed an old blue Mini with Cooper badges and of cause as an old mini mechanic from back in the 70’s, not to mention the owner of three Coopers, he got interested.  He spent some time looking at the car and noticed that something’s were not quite right on it. There was a MK l door at one side a MK ll door on the other side, starter button in the floor, and seat hinge for very early minis. He opened the bonnet moved the sound deadening from the bulkhead to reveal the DOMI Morris import plate, there written as plain as day was Chassis number 131. Lars reaction is not repeatable but let’s just say he quickly covered up the numbers closed the bonnet and went off to find someone to talk too. On enquiring if any of the cars were for sale “like that old Mini for spares”, he was told that the whole collection would be auctioned next year."

That is a paradise for the classic Oldtimer! I would have to be careful not to put all money on the table. :gimme:
