| Post subject: | Cooper S on Gumtree |
Hi Guys I'm looking for a genuine but not too restored Cooper S to buy and saw this ad on Gumtree today. http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/greenslo ... 1081239047 Is anyone familiar with this car as I don't really know what I should be looking for. I've called and left a message but I'd expect the poor bloke is probably inundated with calls. If he does call me back and it's not already sold, would anyone nearby be willing to check it out for me (would pay costs for time/travel). Cheers Dave |

Is it a reshell? or is it a proper mk2 69 and someone panicked in the early day with no id tag and miss informed put a mk1 tag to get registered does look to have all tabs in the boot etc |

Guys I know this red car very well as it used to belong to me. It is as genuine a cooper S as you can get. The body is very good as in the door gaps were excellent and generally pretty straight. Would make a great project car that doesn't need tons of money spent on the motor or body. The engine and box were fully rebuilt prior to it coming into my hands. From memory the receipts from the previous owner exceeded 8K. The motor had never been started when I had it. The seats are green. |
