Not tricky enough. Once its on the net - its out there forever. Can't wait for YKG2S2 1841 to show up on a deluxe.

My pet hate is rebirthing of cars. People get ripped off buying a deluxe or Mini K for twice the price and then cant resell it later for what they paid. |

I want to know how many Mini K's out there that are actually Cooper S's! Anyone hazard a guess? From what I gather, loads of Cooper S,s were deCooperized?? Has anybody found one that way? |

Good knows how many.... but I was chatting to Terry Shiel (or Sheil??) a few years ago...well maybe 30 or so. He was bemoaning he number of Ss he had wrecked (i.e. converted into parts) or re-birthed as lesser models (you couldn't sell an S because of ruinous insurance charges). A while later I bought a very original oil cooler off a guy with a "K". The rolled lower grill opening and brackets seemed somewhat unfamiliar on a K. Cheers, Ian |

K rolled over front panel was quite a common thing. I have seen many. I think that at the factory they grabbed whatever fitted on the day. |

And what happened to the ID or compliance plates of the cars that were converted into Deluxes or Mini Ks? Were the body numbers changed? |

I don't know but 1 of the 3 "Mini K's" I owned had Italian service records in the drivers door pocket. That, I could not work out at all. I'm not joking! Having said that I have a few Indonesian fuel receipts still in my car somewhere

When they decooperized the Cooper S's, would they have left the original speedo in place do you think? I'm guessing so?? |

About 40 years ago I had a burgundy coloured mark 1 S which had minor damage which I repaired. I sold it to wrecker in Kirrawee for about $750, when I later saw it, it had been made into a deluxe. At the time a S motor and gearbox was worth about $300,discs $75, carbs $25, speedo and right hand tank was left in the car. He probably sold the car for what he paid me and made a good profit after selling the S bits |
