Not a Cooper, apologies Mark. This is stored in the UK in a nephew's garage, a keepsake in memory of his dad who had owned it.

I think that is an Morris Mini Minor by the badge & grill. Looks in good order and very rare find nowadays.

Incidentally the 24-70L 2.8 lens is my walk about lens and is 9 years old today, just goes to show that although expensive buying quality kit is absolutely worth it if you can...

Ill take th lens if its a Cannon fit... ;-)

Not often you see them side by side - fair old difference in size

Beautiful example you have there.

I've taken mine out for a cheeky little drive the last couple of weeks, it's not original, customised to my liking, and mostly all the work done myself.
