Just spotted this on eBay. One for the brave, but does look interesting. I wonder how much it'll go for https://www.ebay.co....tm/262369675608

I can't help but thing this has gone to far. He suggests sacrificing a 1966 Mini, itself a significant car, for it's bodyshell, a big price to pay for what to my mind would end up as pretty near to a replica car and not the real thing that came out of the Crayford factory.
A very sad case. I only hope there is enough left to do what I would call a true restoration.

There's not a lot you can't get for MK1's in one way or another so it's technically possible to restore without sacrificing another car.
A properly restored Crayford can be worth as much as a similar condition Cooper of the same age do it's well worth doing.

Hi chaps,
Well I was the one who was brave or stupid enough to take that on. The bodywork is now complete and off to paint
Cheers
