Hi All
I've just acquired a 1968 Cooper in El Paso Beige with a Snowberry White roof.
The car ir pretty original but needs restoration. I'm stripping it down to get the shell rebuilt (as I don't do bodywork!)
I want to get it back to as close as original as possible - but need to know what's not right! I have loads of questions such as where should the dip switch be? Is there any definitive guidance on the web?
Regards
Wyn

Hi All - thanks for the gretings
Babybec - I live near Llanelli.
Guessworks - the wheels are non standard and, although I like them, they may have to go! They are a period modification though!
