There is also a very nice jet red/white Mk2 S on carsales. Won car of show and best Cooper S at 2018 Qld mini muster. A very originally minded restored car from what I can see. Seems better value for an original car than the auction cars - depends what you are after.

Red one has an 1100S motor

Nothing that a set of stamps couldn't fix.

Red one on carsales has the correct motor. Red one on Shannon’s besides the 1100s motor, has a different (later metro?) head as well.

Already been "fixed" (as you obviously realise)

Just read this part on the auction for the red car maybe one of pommy bastards cars

Inspired by fond memories of a Cooper owned back in the day, the current owner was able to secure this very special car in 2010, joining a small collection of classic cars based in the Southern Highlands region of NSW.  

Reasonable assumption

Red one is up to $60500

It's not my car, I do know the owner

Shannons red car up to 66,500, green one is 36,500.

Is there a buyers premium on top of this?

Yep, $80,500 + 5% buyers premium. Crazy money for a not so original car. Just my 2c

So $80,500 plus $4,025 equals $84,525 that the buyer paid. Plus shipping if needed.

WOW !!

You can't achieve $84k for a correct car in tip top condition how do you work it out
