1961 MORRIS MINI DESEAMED WITH COOPER ENGINE, USED DAILY
Item number:180987094177


Late shell, late instruments, etc, etc., As blooming usual!

[sonikk4]

Its got a LOUD exhaust so that must make it an original car. Might be registered as a 61 but that shell certainly is not a 61. I think they may need to add at least twenty years to that.

No pics of the engine even and there's still 15 bidders?

blue painted Interior ,tahiti blue? aswell as the doorsteps, yet a black blow over on the outside, alarm bells for me......

[Noah]

Its been in a wreck. He's bough the personalised plate. Got it de-seamed. Called it a 61. Its more than likely whats left of a RSP.

You have to admire the amount of effort that's involved in taking a genuine Mk I like this and then sourcing and fitting every last late 80's/early 90's component to make it into what you see here. I mean look at the attention to detail here, it's correct right the way down to the under dash rail Rover stereo that doesn't actually work!!

[Vulcan]

Is that the Rover sunroof with the cardboard gasket I see lovingly fitted too?

[blacktulip]

what makes me sick is that someone who doesnt know will get stitched up with it.

Yeah it is false advertising it's just a late car with an old licence plate!

The police are only interested in vehicle identity crime that's related to stolen vehicles, as this is probably just a potential case of vehicle identity crime in relation to road tax fraud, then it's DVLA you need to inform. They have the power to seize the car and crush it if they find it to have a reassigned identity and can also bring charges for road tax evasion. You can also report it to Ebay as a fraudulent listing as they have the power to remove the listing if they consider it to not be the 1961 Morris model that it's described as.

I have reported the listing to eBay and will phone them tomorrow.

I checked on my car check, according to that the car doesn't exist. Odd for a car thats "Used daily". My car's been off the road for 7 year and is recognised on My car check?

That's a bit odd -
