It's a weird setting with Mini Mania and how it links websites. I tried to fix it, will not let me.

 

If you copy-paste the address it works out.

Without the prefix "http:", "https:" is assumed by the web, so it goes nowhere.
The Minimania editor is deleting the prefix.

Several tries and I couldn't get a workaround.
When you ge to the error page, just edit the "s" out of "https:" in the header. and it will go.

Miguel that link won't open.
I was referencing the center insert but you are right they were red bolsters, they were made to mimic the original Cooper brocade interiors of the 60's.

So Spitz are you buying it ?

I am sure i remember seeing those seats in a 1994? Monte Carlo ltd edition Cooper.

I believe you'll find that the chassis number/VIN is for an SPi.

Hell You might be right.

 

I just noticed it has a seat belt warning were the SRS warning should be in the dashboard.

 

Also it has the old style turn signal switches and missing the headlight height adjustment button.

 

Very likely it was a transition car. Neat!

Miguelf it had come with an air bag surely it would have the fuse box located under the dash rail on the wheel well?
Air bag /MPI cars were first sold late 1996 maybe this is an early pre October 96 car it also has the carb / spi gas pedal.
Of course the seats or steering wheel could have been changed but as the wheel has a different spline pattern it requires a complete column and electrics so not an easy task.

Wheel is Cooper, half leather seats, carpet is black though I believe

Colour is BRG with a white roof.
Trim i don't know, if it is a Cooper and still has a factory steering wheel it should have Cooper in the center and be leather wrapped with usually red carpets.

This is on a 96 Jap market car.
I'd like to confirm what that colour code is and if it is a "Cooper" trim from factory

Thanks
