Hello all,
Long time lurker and new member here.
My first car was a Teal blue ´71 850 Saloon and I had it for nine years (finally upgraded to ´67 Spitfire).
Now I´m well into my fifties and for a couple of years I´ve collected parts for a possible retirement Mini mk I-II project.
A week ago I came across this and bought it on the spot, unseen, based on two photos.
It´s been stored +30 years and estate of a deceased gentleman finally decided to put it up for sale.
After 7 years they realized that it´s not progressing and is only getting worse as time passes.
I´m hoping for best and it certainly looks untouched, but I´ll know better once I´ll get it in my garage.
If it´s not too bad, I´ll probably start it as a side project.
If it turns out to be a rust bucket, I´ll put it into a long term storage and get back to it when I´m actually retired.
Like to show the photos, but can´t attach them
