Yes, she's an original factory tourer. 948cc which is surprisingly nippy - nice tight handling, although a bit (a lot) skittish over lumpy bits of road and all in all a right old hoot to drive.

It's the outer body panels, chrome and interior that needs the most work, which I'm already attending to and I had great fun ordering £500 pounds worth of nice shiny things from GS.Jones Minors last night after a couple of glasses of red. Who the heck knows what's going to arrive!!!

Basically, anything they made lots of. More advice, more bits.
My first restoration is a Lotus Excel, so jumping in at the deep end a bit. It was free though!
Yep. All of those, to which I'd add Morris Minor.
