Mini cooper?

Mini cooper?

That would be just a bit too easy!
Don't forget this is AutoPuzzles, where things are generally not quite what they seem to be...

[matramurena]

It looks like the original Austin Cooper Mark 1 in stead of the mini cooper, (by looking at the door hinges)?

It looks like the original Austin Cooper Mark 1 in stead of the mini cooper, (by looking at the door hinges)?

The Mk 1 (and 2) Coopers were all either Austin or Morris Coopers officially and were only known colloquially as Mini Coopers.
It wasn't until the Mk 3 that they were officially called Mini Coopers, when the Austin and Morris marques were both dropped in favour of creating the new Mini marque.

It isn't a Cooper at all anyway, whether Austin, Morris or Mini!

Then, the only car who looks similar to this: a Wolseley?

No , the Wolseley and Riley had a boot.

It could be an Innocenti 1001, these had the small lights, though it looks more like an Far East "copy" being RHD and the scenery. I don't recall them being made Down Udner, I have a book of the ones Down Under somewere, just can't find the copy.

[Carnut]

matramurena's right - it's a Wolseley!
So I'll lock it for him for 24 hours to look further into.

[matramurena]

It's a Wolseley 1000, builded in South Africa.

Exactly!
