Hi Guys
This is my 2 cents.
The seats and door cards have been changed/modified. The Cooper type brake master cylinder is used and not the dual circuit, thus year model should be pre July 1975 when they changed to 12 inch wheels. I see no brake booster as the GTS with 10 inch wheels and 7.5 inch brakes was supposed to have a brake booster, but different than the Cooper's brake booster. Do you know the size of the discs fitted?
The wheel arches have been changed and is not GTS correct anymore.
Now looking at your wiper switch on the LH of the steering wheel that change was made in April 1977. Further your centre console should have the following rocker switches four-way hazard lights, lights, heater and fan and heated rear window.
In the engine bay your original Air filter housing has been changed to I assume some form of performance air filters like K&N. The carb linkage is GTS correct and I see the LH Carb (standing facing the engine) has had it's float bowl top changed. The washer bottle is at the right place and the right shape. A oil cooler has also been fitted looking at the adapter under the oil filter. An extra engine stabilizer was added to the thermostat housing.
The dash has been changed and the steering wheel and rocker cover (do you know if hi lift rockers are maybe fitted).
Still nice car I reckon.

Own some minis, break them, fix them, improve them, test them to the limit....
