You never heard of the '76 wiper fluid container for a 343 that people threw away because it didn't work? At V3C, there is a guy that has been looking for that container for years and never found one. I think he has found one by now, but those things seem to be rare tootrabitom99 wrote:I read something the other day about a "1959 mini club" - for cars from tbe mini's first production year. Apparently, a kind of glass windscreen washer bottle, which is slightly smaller than the 1960 version, is particularly sought after. It's worth about 500 Euros, if you can find one. Also, members of that club fit a particular type of 1959 windscreen wiper to their cars, I forget the name of the manufacturer ...
That article amused me lotsBut I can see the point of keeping really early, particularly rare cars (like the 76 343s) original.
