Hi After having a look at the link in the For Sale post by the same name I would urge caution. The rego sticker has a different number to the plate on the rear of the car, with none on the front. Also the rego sticker shows the "vin" as YG2S1****, this isn't Cooper S, looks like a sheep in wolfs clothing to me. Cheers Steve |

![]() YG2S1 is the code for a MiniK IIRC. A few dodgy MK2 S cars have had the 1 overstamped with a 4 to give YG2S4. RonR |

So is it, or isnt it? Are the tabs there for the fuel tank balance pipe, boot board tabs etc |

It is a Mini K with a Morris 1100S engine. There are no Cooper S bits in it at all except for the badges and the price tag. |

Interesting to note that it was on concessional Qld rego and isn't the car required to be verified by a qualified club member to sign off on it being what it is to be registered as ![]() |

Yes apparently. You need a letter form the club on official club letter-head paper......... |

For concessional rego the dating officer is rquired to verify the age of the vehicle, not what model etc. As far as I can see the rego label doesn't say Cooper anyway, it just has the chassis number. Steve |
