Oh .. that is sad :( Its really hard to tell, but that could be a MK II late 60s mini .. I'm not sure its a cooper though.. The engine maybe a 997cc. I wonder if its bend was due to an accident or someone at the junk yard messing around.

Perhaps the rare Aussie SE 'boomerang' micro model :silent:

At least there looks to be some useable parts under the .. bonnett. For someone with.a Mini more in alignment with the road

I would venture to guess that it was an accident, and from the looks of it, the driver is likely no longer with us. Judging from shape of the roof, the car probably rolled and hit a pole/tree on the underside.

Its a damn shame :-(

Is it just me or do those MC's look just like the early 99 units? o_O

It's not just you. And it's not just early cars - all RHD ones have that type.

As for the car, looks typical BL factory fresh :)
