I don't think there is any real price difference.... just not as many MK2's for sale. Don't settle for a MK1 if it's not what you want, a MK2 will show up
Only about 1/3 of the total Ss made here were Mk2s, one reason why.

G'day all, Seeking your opinions on realistic price range of authentic Cooper S Mk1 vs Mk2 in similar condition. I am having a look around and as an ex Mk2 owner (many moons ago), would prefer one of these, but realise the Mk1s are more affordable (or less expensive!). Any info appreciated! |

thought I would never say it but around late $20,000 to early $30,000 seems to be the money Oh I know 2 people who have about $30,000 to buy a genuine S and can;t find one that has all the right bits, such as matching numbers, interiors etc... |

I was thinking that if a couple of us Cooper S owners got together we could artificially inflate the prices of the Cooper S to whatever price we wanted. All we need is three cars and three owners. List car #1 on ebay and owners 2 and 3 bid furiously till it reaches the agreed price and let owner number 2 win. List car #2 on ebay and owners 1 and 3 bid ..... List car #3 .... So the end result is three Cooper S's selling for a huge price in front of a big marketplace. (the downside is the ebay fees) The next time someone lists a car everyone will be expecting it to go for similar money.

That would make us OPEC. And when prices of S parts went down we could pay some Nigerians to burn a mini shop down inflating tensions in the region and pushing prices back up. |

Just let me get one before anyone gets on Ebay with those cars!!!!!!!! With the money getting tighter, could make prices go either way I reckon...... "Life's a gamble, yeah, yeah, yeah!" (The Radiators) |
