Spotted a Blue Mini Cooper opposite Nothside Shopping Ctr in Dublin just after 6 on Saturday evening.

Then spotted a spotless Red one outside an hostelry in Ballinalee on Sunday.

some local residents..... both for sale, both asking @ 3000 euro.

both of these are chilean factory built fibreglass bodies with regular front & rere subframes & fittings.
the silver one is a ´72, the red a ´69 - note the mk1 lenses

Afair all panels are fibre... Hinges are metal, sandwiched through the body with large load spreading plates... Note that that they are both "wet" suspension. Car was heavy, possibly had bonded in steel stiffening at front & rear firewalls. The photos from a done deal type of website.
