It's your car - do what you want
personally I would try to keep it original
as it has got thru all these years like it
looks like it will need a bit of rust proofer on the bulkhead cross member
but looks better than a lot of 90's mini's

Its not my car yet, I was asking if it looked original or not

It looks original yes
Might be worth also asking on Mk1-forum.net

I think a heater was still an option on the base model. Looks very good.

It has no heater fitted

sorry - got the question the wrong way around
thought you were thinking of modifying it

That looks incredibly original apart from not having a heater and the heater trunking.
It would be expected that the original hose clips would have been replaced with the better worm-drive clips during the last 52 years,
Will you be striping out the engine bay, repainting it, checking the engine & gearbox and re-finishing the engine in BMC Engine Green (Land-Rover Bronze Green)?

Is this a car that has been imported to the U.K.?
Yes it has been

I would, if I ended up buying it
