New Zealand Mini according to the owner on the other thread.

Not mine- but I worked with the chap eariler this year getting it nice n pretty- Sad events.

I know he's happy hagarty paid- and already has another mini on the water.!  

Not an Aussie body (in case soemone was looking for Oz spares).  No external hinges and Mk III windows etc...

Cheers, Ian

I remember exchanging a few messages with him on another forum.  I'm really sorry about the Mini but glad he was not hurt in the accident.

I guess it was a rollover, at least the owner is ok.

Is this just me or does it not look like a rollover, more like something fell on it?  Can a rollover crush the C-pillar that hard?

Obviously he plowed into something.   But to me it looks like he got it from high and behind, like a tall truck bumper.

low milage 998 but even so,  that's a lot of work stripping it down. Not much there.
