Wonder where there finding them from? Check the sellers history. They have sold 2 other minis recently. One was an apparent Cooper S?

Not often you see that many loaded on Ebay in one hit (especially, all owned by the one person)!

997 has twin fillers with one tank, hope it has not been cut! Is it missing the centre boot bracket or am I getting confused with what the 'S' has?

998 looks good...I was hoping it only had seat covers until I saw the door trims are corduroy as well :( . ..that was the 70's!

Still not that far from home.



The 997 has the large british number plate mount on the boot lid and has windup windows.

But the 998 has the Oz number plate mount and has sliding windows?

Does that seem right? I wouldnt of thought the 997 would have wind ups?

The 997 should have sliding windows and the english bootlid. I missed the windup windows - well spotted!

The 998 should have sliding windows and the aussie bootlid (there may have been a few cross over cars though! Not in 1965 though!).

Doogie you once told me a cooper was not worth it :P

Its a sweet find. The ebay selling is a trust so maybe its a deceased estate. I checked the engine numbers on the coopers' and one matchs and one doesn't.

Come on qlds anyone up for a visit to miami to report back?
