very nice little car... (wrong steering wheel)

this is who Shane is asking about... buried right down at the bottom of the listing

Quote:
the former owner, who purchased it new in Australia, was Andrew Fellowes ... his name is actually Lord Fellowes, cousin of Princess Diana! He never uses the title and almost never tells anyone about it!

Hi

This same seller sold another Cooper S about a week ago, the ad for it was just as long.

It can be seen here http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Mini-Cla ... dZViewItem

Yeah...nice colour...I like this selling point:

"This is the Australian window sticker showing that it has passed their rigid inspection process"

Quite a few misleading things in both the adverts. It is sad to see good Aussie Minis go to the USA.
