It's interesting seeing all the pics of the Sellers Morris Cooper 6189 PK as I have almost a sister car. Well that's a bit of a jump too far on a couple of counts. Firstly its a 63 Morris Minor (mini) but its 6188 PK, and secondly its not really a "car" based on the state.

As far as I remember is was also supplied by S&A which would make sense.

^^ Not seen that one before. Do you know any more about it? Looks kinda cool but I can't work out what's going on with the doors.
I've just had a shuftie at Jeroen Booij's book 'Maximum Mini' and apparently it's a Canadian built Reptune GT, of which only four were made... not exactly pretty are they...?

Rigidity of original donor shell would be 'interesting', wonder how the fibreglass attached, bonded or bolted on?, subsequent rust repair must be problematic.
I'd imagine it was bonded on, just like the Broadspeed GT conversion was.

I picked up this '60s aftermarket dashboard at the Stanford Hall show on Sunday, it came out of a '65 Mk1 Cooper S barn find project belonging to a mate, the plan is to completely refurbish it, make a few improvements and fit it into one of my Mk2s...
