Looks good, but for $65,000 I don't think so.

I'd have said he'd hit '0' too many times, but then it'd be too cheap...

It's advertised as a 64 model cooper S but appears to be a UK MK III then John Cooper got his grubby hands on it in 74.....

If you read the add it says it's a 74 but Carsales wouldn't let him choose a 74 Cooper so he used 64.

It's a John Cooper conversion, so it's interesting, but nowhere near worth $65,000 IMHO.

Thanks for that, but didn't they stop making Cooper S's in 71?

Of course they did. That's why he couldn't list it as a 74 Cooper.

The car is a humble Mini 1000 Mk3 that happened to visit John Cooper Garages. It didn't leave the Leyland factory as a Cooper. Although JC might have sold it new as a Cooper and log-booked it as one.

I had to laugh at the Miniworld (or was it Mini Magazine?) article on "the World's only Cooper S Traveller". The car was built as a normal Traveller, then the 850 was removed and a Cooper S engine and various other S bits were fitted. It was then registered as a Cooper S Traveller by BMC. But it didn't start life as a Cooper S really, did it? The chassis number says it all. :)
