If tasteless, delete me Mods, but what are people thinking he will go for?

The 'market' prices for this kind of thing are always on a big roller coaster. I would guess the range would be $20 to $40k, but all you need is two cashed up buyers........

wheres the poll?

It should belong in a museum. Is there a bathurst great race museum or something??

No it should not be in a museam to rot away and never be used again. It should be enjoyed.

40-50K minimum i reckon. We dont know the condiion of it yet or how much other Cooper S bits are with it

I dont think the Cooper S bits are the important part..

More so the body of the car..

Yea but if there are 5-6 cooper S engines with it then it is worth alot more.

Yes when it comes time to sell both it, the other body shell (both with their correct engines) and all the other bits here the money will be very handy.

I've been on a Carer's Pensions while looking after my husband and currently have no income - but - and this is a very big but

The money when it comes to Paddy is not important to me.

The main thing is for him to go to the right person and that will be decided by me and me alone.

On the other hand - keep guessing prices, giving advice and generally discussing Paddy (and me) as you are definitely keeping me amused.

I'm not usually a forum person though I do spend a lot of time on the internet as it is my lifeline to the world and this past week has been very interesting.

When I get one half of the other shed cleared I will be doing a photographic record (easiest way for me) of each piece and then stacking them up properly so they can all be viewed. That won't include every nut and bolt but definitely anything big enough to take a photo of.

There are 40-50 wheels (standard and wide) for instance, most in sets and over half still have tyres on them. Gearboxes - heaps. Starter motors - I stacked up seven last weekend and that was just from one box. Mirrors - maybe around 30-40 but I didn't count them. Subframes maybe 6-8 but I'm not sure what was over on the other side. There are bonnets, doors, boot lids , seats, carpets, head linings, even driving light covers (about a dozen of them)

I was only moving things around a bit so the rewiring could be done down there.

Like I said - this is going to take me quite a while, especially as I'm going to have to do most of it by myself.

It could be a pigeon pair for greg (low n blown) with his other race car that
was in the mini experience a couple of issues ago

or maybe even the bowden's collection as they have a great selection
of bathurst cars and they just bought part of the big pineapple property
to open a museum

If there are any moke bits, i could come and give you a hand

No sorry - as far as I know the moke and the bits are all gone - went to Wayne Griffiths last year - not that there was much left to salvage as it had been sitting out in the open for a very long time.

We only had the one moke that we bought frim Cameron Manson without an engine (that went into a Nota Fang) and my husband Chris built an engine for it and it was also my "shopping car" for the whole time Chris was also racing in it.

Back then (early 80s) my son's friends used to line up for a trip around the block in it as it had a full roll cage and I only ever kept the roof on - not the sides. Much better (they said) than the Rolls, Bentleys and Jaguars, etc that used to come and pick the kids up from the same school (in Hunters Hill, Sydney).

we have been in touch already. Nice to be considered Shane thanks.

Would you happen to know whos Nota Fang that motor went into. There is only a few left now, and we own one of them and are tracking down any information we can. Would you also happen to know what motor it was?
