The bumpers just lacking the vertical overriders which can be added to them.

The wheel arches are not original.

Tail lights are correct for a MK2.

A 2nd fuel tank was an option for the Cooper S (1275) not the Cooper (998).

Steering wheel is not original.

Grill, again is correct for an MK2.

You can't just fit an MK2 door to a MK3 body! MK2 doors require an entirely diffrent doorframe and they are lower then an MK3 door.

I took another closer look at this car, did anyone else notice, the windows are all bigger, this is and 80's model no doubt about it, the back window is bigger clearly and the side rears, look at the space above. 1968 FAIL

I have got a very good hint for you to keeping the nice old Engine in good shape with todays ultra dry eco fuels: Use 1:100 API TC two stroke oil / fuel mix as regular driving fuel, that keeps the old fuel-system gaskets, rubber parts, alloy parts etc... and cast iron metal surfaces of those vintage engines in excellent shape...and it also lubricates the valves and upper piston regions. Most Porsche vintage owners in Germany do so :) Also keeps carbs and tank clean and rustfree

I can see lots wrong with this, bumpers, wheel arches, tail lights, no 2nd fuel tank which a 68 had. Steering wheel is incorrect. And it has a mk3 grill. I would say this is a mk3 with mk2 doors . The giveaway for me is the speedo in klm and miles. Not a COOPER at all.

@bobkats I lot of peope don't even know there's a difference between an "Austen Mini" and a "Mini Cooper". I blame the new "Cooper MINI", which confuses a lot of folks. But I guess there are thousands who wouldn't even know that the Mini ever existed if not for the new cars, so I can't complain too much. Besides, the new ones aren't such bad cars, all it all. They didn't even come with automatics for the first several years. Now THAT'S something out-of-the-ordinary for modern cars!

@justforever96 true mate true. I just eget annoyed when folks try and claim something is, when it clearly is not.

@bobkats it's *mostly* correct for a 68 Mini (non-Cooper, as Coopers had the 2nd tank yes) however highly modified as you say the steering wheel replaced with a modern one (not uncommon), wheel arches, mirrors, other bits added, indeed a Mk2 grille- the Mk3 would have an internal bonnet release, this one has the external release. Still, a cool Mini, makes me miss my 68 MkII which lived in Sundre Alberta before being sold and sent down to California :) Thanks for posting PeterHyslop1

They are mini cooper doors. I have a 67 Austin s and they are the same. That`s a great little mini you have, I love the original mini gauge pod.

@49sled Dead right they are mini cooper doors! They are the same doors as used on pretty much all mk1 and mk2 minis, cooper or not! Handles were slightly different between mk1 and mk2. Australian minis were a little different, the wind down windows came in with the mk3.

Either thats not a cooper, or it doesnt have cooper doors, they are not mini cooper doors

I have just been lucky enough to buy one of these, G Reg, 1968 Mini, it has the stripes, the white roof and is sky blue in colour. It has a rally dash. This is a beautiful Mini, very well kept.
