Was this car previously with a well known Mini rallyist D J?
I owned one of his Cooper S's and was told he had a number of ex works cars including a 2.5PI Edit - a quick search shows the person in mind sadly passed away in July. |

Well, I suppose the word "amazing", by itself, makes no claims to be indicating whether good or bad. |

Amazing that it's not fallen to pieces. Amazing that it is so un-molestedly original (apart from corrosion). Amazing that it's been found now And so on... |

Amazing discussion there on the word amazing.
 Great find. I wonder what the plans are for it. Couldn’t find the article on fb. I’m sure it’ll be in the mag soon enough... |

Thanks.
Search function in fb drives me insane. But good to see there is a specific page search. |
