Bring it in disassembled as parts in a consolidated container shipment. That'd require an accomplice on the other end.
A VIN transplant from a qualifying car. Also requiring an accomplice. And keep your fingers crossed that customs doesn't know a 67 Cooper S didn't have air bags...
or (most sensible) have someone in the UK restore a qualifying Mini to your spec. It'll cost less total in the long run.

Phil and I were chatting inside about it while you were showing yours off.

Basically, I will keep it that way for a bit, I know I want to paint it in time differently. I will take my time and decide on the final color later.
