Recently purchased a ‘67 Cooper which has been fully restored and just requires a bit of ‘OCD improvements’
She’s a credit to her previous owner 👍🏻

Lovely mini! It looks pristine. - Congratulations on your return!
What 'improvements' do you have in mind? (I do get the concept of 'OCD Improvements'!
- What is the car behind the mini in the picture?

Hi,
I would take a guess at it being a Jaguar XK 120,140,150 or 160 fixed head Coupe.

Thanks they are mainly all silly things:
Wiper motor was from a ‘62 (correct one purchased, but need a couple of studs to fit it)
Wiper bottle was wrong (replaced)
Handbrake was tatty (replaced)
Boot board clip was missing (fitted)
One window catch was temperamental (replaced)
Going to swap the (new) Mota-Lita 13” wheel for a 15” one (purchased
Jack and wheel brace was missing (purchased)
Also added a very discrete USB charger.
Considering fitting rosepetals or minilites (both Mini Spares copies) but I’m torn… either way I need to buy a spare wheel!

No idea of the car in the background as it’s not my photo (not taken and decent ones yet)

That is a Beautiful looking Mini. I totally understand OCD improvements I have done/going to do some of my own.
Definitely a right place at right time to score a Mini like that, as they are about as common as Rocking Horse s***
Congratulations and welcome to the Forum
