Hi,

I am clearing my garage at the moment.
I have a 998 Cooper with Hyrolastic suspension.
It has a vinyl roof that runs up to the bottom of the rear window. (The rear window has a standard size).

The car is deseamed and has a red non metallic colour.
Inside the switches are believed to be from RR origin.

When I bought the car (at least 16 years ago). It came with a collection of Rolls Royce’s bought by a Dutch collector.
The car was in need of a full restoration. I bought the car to do so, but after 16 years I have not found the time to do so.
At the time of buying this car I tried to get information from W&P but I believe they ware just took over by another firm in that time and did not get any response.

Before I am going to sell this car I like to give all information I can gather.
So if you know more about these cars (and how to notice it is original) please let me know.

Regards

Q.

Stick up a pic, being a Mk2 does it have windup/electric windows..?? different seats, modified engine, different wheels etc etc, but there was no exact spec, although even if it aint a W+P mini is will still be of interest...
