Jelly beans are growing on me. In a world of contessas, I like the jsellybeans these days. Kinda 70's retro.

In my opinion I don't think the asking price is too exorbitant. That is if the car is genuine. A call to the owner and an inspection will give you an answer to that.

I've been tracking Cooper S sales over the last three to four years. My main methods being contacting sellers and recording sale prices.

Here is a price guide I've created based on my collection of sales data:

Below 10k - Non-runner in need of restoration.
10-15k - Average to good condition, may be missing original parts, non-matching numbers etc.
15k-20k - Good condition, matching numbers.
20-25k - Excellent condition, matching numbers.
25-30k - Immaculate to concours, matching numbers.
30k+ - Concours with the finest of details, matching numbers, original sales documents, service history etc.

Overall the trend is UP. The introduction and on-going popularity of the new MINI and the timeless appeal and "cool" factor of the original, as well as the promotion of its 50th year will only continue to drive the values up.

Now people might say, ..."but I saw a Cooper S for so and so dollars". There are always exceptions. You might get lucky, you might get ripped off. Others might say, ..."hey Red Book has them valued at $14000". This value is diluted by the many replicas sold... "Every Mini is a Cooper S" right? :roll:

Happy to hear feedback and comments. :wink:

It is still cheaper than a Bini, and you know which one is going to depreciate quicker. :lol:

hey.... value mine -

    - 7/70 MK2
    - 4th owner, 2 previous owners had it about 6 months each, original owner prior
    - 70% original Camino Gold paint (inside, left side and roof), generally tatty, lots of stone chips and a few supermarket carpark dings, but looks alright
    - early life accident damage, but repaired as close to original as possible - you can't pick it, though it does need the right hand front inner guard replaced, but I have a good one ready for it
    - no rust at all - I hunt it down with a vengeance (well... there is a teeny bit in the front apron, but I won't fix that just yet)
    - original motor is on the shelf needing a rebuild, currently running a warm 1100S @ 1330cc (~65bhp atw)
    - original seats, trim etc. but the fronts need retrimming, carpet has been replaced
    - various period accessories
    - all original items (bonnet underfelt, boot board, brake booster, plastic heater etc. etc.) are either fitted or in my possession

Partly true, because the originals aren't depreciating, they're appreciating!

You can buy a 2002 MINI Cooper S's for under 25k these days.
