It is nice and some hard work and $$$ have gone in to it, but there are some bits that have been rushed and some small mods. Like I say, it is nice but not ~$60k nice!

Good find all the same.

For a "better than new restoration" I'd expect that the Smiths' oil gauge to look as new, not filthy and pitted like it is! :shock:

And I doubt an English 1964 Cooper S would have come out with a Celsuis water temp Gauge?! (And wouldn't have been a full circle, capillary type either). Seems a number of things not up to scratch for a top price, full "better than new restoration" vehicle
