I just bought the beginning of a short term restoration project. The guy I bought it from said it was from a Cooper S and would be the good starting point for a quick rebuild, I am not sure. I think I might have done my dosh :(

He said with a couple of weekends I could be finshed, but I cant find anything say that it is genuine. Photo below.

I think you should be right - that 5 on the head isn't acutally a 5 it's an 'S' :wink:

good luck with the rebuild or is it more of a build up?? :lol:

looks to be in too good of a condition to be 40 odd years old. I think you've been sold a replica :?
