I have recently bought this mini. it is now a different color (a metallic blue). It is partially stripped ready for a respray. But it runs, and it is still genuine, no rust repairs ever made. No rust at all. 

I will be painting the car the same color it is now. It hasnt been started in a long time untill tonight, new plugs and fired right up. Id love to hear more history about this car if anybody has any.
