hi i'm a new member
and my pride and joy has just been placed on e-bay
shes a 1970 cooper(i think) running a 1380cc mg metro engine
lots of pics, i did the interier myself

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll ... escription

or by visiting http://www.ebay.com.au and typing 4531999306 into the search and that should bring it up

or by searching for "mini mg metro"

i thought she was a cooper but someone asked if i was sure it wasn't a deluxe, i'm not sure so any comments would be greatly appreciated

Did all coopers have twin tanks by '70, or only the 's' models?

mine is single
but i think it was just the s that had twins

hamish we see your car every day.. my daughter, Dani on here, goes to the highschool near you. I spoke to your father about the mini a few weeks ago and told him about this site.
from what ive seen its a nice looking mini, but ive always assumed it was a deluxe.. and i think you will find that is the case..noticed also that the badges are rover ..

Over here only the S got twin tanks, Cooper 998 production stopped when S was introduced. They kept building 998 Coopers in UK to ~1969 though, with 1 tank.

nice interior.....

Yep, she looks like a deluxe to me. Single tank, australian doors, so not a UK cooper.
What brakes does it have?
What is the chassis number? (or the body prefix, don't want to know the rest)

Cheers
