did this just for my benefit, so I can read it easier. May help others.
I don't think any of those passed through our family, and we've had around 30. I would like to find a cooper s for $800!!

Yep 1977, what a year, picked my first Cooper S up for $600 (, pity us young fella's didn't think with our head's instead of our pant's) i ended up crashing it , got it repaired , then later on sold it for $300 as a rolling shell , too young & stupid to be bothered to put it back together.
