Wow i thought that was a great price from there.

Im not realm good with the Cooper S, but looking through the photos i see there are a lot things that aren't right.

Still a fairly nice car

Perhaps some one can make a buck by selling them the correct speedo and some door trims for a start

I don't remember where or how but I already had a photo of that id plate in my collection. So it must have been for sale somewhere else before in the past year. (or it has been on Ausmini and I nicked the photo from there!)

The owner was asking $35,000.....so that is a decent drop given he now has a commission to pay too!

Why are they not asking the usual $50,000?

I'm sure I've seen that car in the "Readers Cars" section of the Mini Experience.

Fifth of the line makes it interesting. Possibly the oldest surviving Aussie S.

Anyone know of an older one??

sounds like a damn good price to me, even tho "some" things are not original,,, doesn`t really take anything away from "That" price tho,,, just makes me think that "IF" it had all the "Right" gear then it would certainly make it even cheaper at That price

I think it looks good value too. I do hate the steering wheel though!
