When I finally got the go ahead from the wife for my last (dream) mini. I briefly thought about an engine converted mini. But she says sooo in 5 years are you going to be happy with that? And I think erm... no. So then I start thinking cooper S mk 2 matching numbers, and she says... I know you, there's no way you would be happy with a standard cooper S, are you sure you want to butcher one?
"God No" was my answer as they represent an authentic slice of motor racing history.
Then I saw my old van today and it struck me TRAVELLER! But as soon as I thought it I couldn't help but have my heart sink, buying a resto'd body traveller would be even harder than looking for matching numbers Mk2 S
As a last resort I'll look for an S with a mismatched engine, but damn it why do I always have to want the hard to find items /sigh
I saw Aaron had one for sale, but was a while ago so assuming its gone. If anyone knows him and he still has it, feel free to pass my number on please

Listen to your wife, she knows what is good for you
PM Aaron is the best way to go.
cheers
