The interior of that car has been restored - it may well have been green in the past. It does seem a bit pricey for the current climate.

hI Andrew

These Minors only had an 18 month production run, it was to be a rather an unusal selling ploy, set out by BMC. As the real truth behind the ploy was that the factory had a surplus of green interior trim, they could not afford to scrap them, hence these Minors were shipped out to various dealers up and down the Country. 50/60 years on these cars are now rarity, nice one, look after it.
