I passed on a beach Mini 20 years ago because the $10K CDN seems to high......................................
I always thought old cars were expensive......then I got an ex-wife

If in doubt, flat out. Colin Mc Rae MBE 1968-2007.
Give a car more power and it goes faster on the straights,
make a car lighter and it's faster everywhere. Colin Chapman.

Jeroen Booij has posted a feature on this Mini Beach Car find on his MAXIMUM MINI blog.
He has a wealth of knowledge about all the various Mini variants, kit cars and unique Mini-based vehicles. (I highly recommend his books too.)
Morris Beach Car Barn Find
Monday, 10 August 2020:
//maximummini.blogspot.com/2020/08/morris-beach-car-barn-find.html
He posted an interesting update later in the day:
UPDATE 14:00 - there is uncertainty about the car's identity. It is 100% a genuine Mini Beach car but despite the Morris badging is probably an Austin, too, just like its siblings.

NOTE: Joeren has posted a lot of other interesting Mini-variant features and photos are on his blog pages:
https://maximummini.blogspot.com/
= = =
My NOTE:
There were only a handful of Mini Beach Cars built, with few known survivors. Last year, a one family-owned Austin-badged Beach Mini with incredible provenance sold on Bring a Trailer for $230,000.00 (+ $5,000 Buyer's Premium).

CAUTION - MY USUAL SHAMELESS PLUG FOLLOWS:
We're always looking for classic Minis for for sale, (or candidates for our "Consignment - For Sale by Owners" section of our website).
If you have a Mini that might be available - or you know of any that might be, please contact me offline!
