A real one Austin Mini Cooper MkIII with which it is not just Verkeerd Afgelopen is, but really Verkeerd Afgelopen. After a working and sporting life, the trolley dating from 1971 was certainly 15 years, perhaps 20 years, in an orchard in Overijssel. Under the trees and in high grass. And that has taken its toll. In all those years we have seen very few cars that were rotten like this. The gem was loaded with great care on the trailer and placed on the two-column bridge with the support of beams. Slowly the thing came groaning and supporting with its wheels off the ground. Spontaneously, the door on the driver's side flipped out of its hinges and the rear window cracked. No, there was no honor to be gained, because where do you start? Even the roof was damaged by the rust. And not just like that. So it was demolished, although not many parts could be saved. The engine is stuck like a house and the disc brakes on the front were so far damaged that the parts could go into the Old Iron tray as well. Just like the rest of the cart. Another Cooper less in this world ... and the other is worth more.
