DynaMike ◊ 2008-02-06 20:46	Why Morris? Why Cooper? Made for USA, because of the side markers?

This looks like a privately imported car with its standard bumper and lights that received side markers in order to allow its legalization. Since it's not possible to see if it has another filler cap and the identifying badge is missing, I would say it's a 1970+ Mini MkIII.
