Starting My Mini Up

This has reappeared. I'm slightly undecided as to what this is and what value it should have.
http://www.crosskeys...-MARCOS-MINI...
its a replica basically but (hopefully) properly solid and sorted. A good car to drive rather than worry about the value maybe.
It has some nice bits but a bit confused, external hinges, mk 1 grill but black interior mk2 style, no chrome front window trim but twin tanks. Longman sorted engine and hi lows.
My first car was a slightly bitza mk2 cooper (now exported - anyone any history to XRR 990H?) and I'd quite like one but not enough to stretch to cooper s figures now. I'm not quite sure what I'd do with it!
This one has been around a bit in the last year - failed to sell at cca auctions, did sell at a Poole auction for 11.5k (including buyers prem) and been on ebay a couple of times without huge success it seems. So not massively popular.
Might go and have a nosey if I have time and I've just spotted that somerford minis are closer than I thought.
Anyone seen one or have one of these?
