Mind you it could be a bitsa or home modified jobbie, it's very easy to er... 'build' a Mk1 Cooper S...!
Are Mk1 shells available now? I've seen several "Mk2 Cooper S" with concealed hinges and wind-up windows.
The Horror. The Horror.
I've lost count of the number of Mk1 and Mk2 Coopers I've seen in Mk3 onwards shells! To be fair though, some of these were reshelled in the early '70s when nobody cared about originality. The easiest one to fake is the Mk3 Cooper S as it doesn't look much different to a bog standard Mk3 850 or 1000, the only obvious external clues being the twin tanks and the badge on the bootlid. Only 1570 were built between March '70 and June '71 and most have been accounted for which helps keep the fakers at bay. The first and last built are both still around. Lots of giveaways under the skin though, if you know what to look for, inside, outside and underneath. My Mk2 S was reshelled into a pukka period shell almost thirty years ago (complete with the tell tail factory fitted right hand tank mounting bracket on the rear bulkhead which is hidden by the seat squab and pretty much impossible to fake) and has plenty of history so I know it's a good 'un.
This Mini lark is incurable!
Morning all, Eric the old hedgehog's been at the door again. Lovely little chap he is, surprising the amount of noise he makes.
I've given him some water and a bit of chicken cat food stuff, he seems to be enjoying it.
I'm going to do some scrambled eggs and smoked salmon for breakfast. See if that gets a Nom out of Claire.

Morning Bomma. 
If you think Eric makes a lot of noise, just be glad that Spiny Norman isn't calling on you!
I'm off to Oulton Park today for the Gold Cup Meeting.
I gave Percy a thorough going over yesterday so he's looking his best for the infield display.
We usually get around 25 to 30 TVRs attending and we have a good place to spectate overlooking Clay Hill with views of the track from Cascades to Knicker Brook.
Should be a perfect day weatherwise, I've packed some Factor 30 for my nipples, and a large knotted hanky.
Looking forward to seeing some exciting racing.
Whatever all you Trivialites have planned to do today, I hope you have a marvellous time.

Battert's wearing one this morning. Part of the PPE thing now when he's using the chainsaw, apparently.

Still trying to shift this bloody cold, 3 nights on the sofa so far, Lemsips with Honey, Pills galore sore throat sweets,Im fed up with it now 
Any Hedgehog pics, I would love to see the little chap
For what it's worth old boy, I had a terrible cold some years ago. Hung around for ages it did, couldn't get rid. Any Hedgehog pics, I would love to see the little chap
My old dad told me to have some hot milk with a good drop of Whisky in it. Not the most appetizing thing, sweated like a pig on a spit overnight. It cured me though.
I'll try to get a photo of the hedgehog later. He doesn't seem to be about much during the day, I'll see if he makes an appearance this evening.
