Big feature coming up in the next issue of The Mini Experience, including identifying the Australian Cooper.

Mag will be out within another couple of weeks.

Cheers,
Watto (the original and only).

The car numbers all started at 501 so buyers wouldn't think they were getting an early build one... :lol: :lol: :twisted: :!:

Probably a bit late now car has sold, but the numbers on the bulkhead and rad shroud can be close or the same on earlier 997's, very late cars and 998's appear to have gone over to the more familiar 501 'ish' difference.

See Watto's splendiferous mag for all the details!!! :lol:

Not long to wait now! :D

$52.02 for a Cooper Shell is a bit of a joke.
oh well, customer got the bits he wanted...damn cheap.
from what i hear it will be back on ebay bare, or down the scrap heap.

Geez that's a good buy for $52!
