Because they can reshell it into something better, and then legally call it a Cooper S.
Doesn't work that way here, does it..... :roll: :lol:

Could be a 1071 S 8) Speedo is correct....
I will check the numbers, my guess is it will get reshelled and be worth $30,000 + !! :shock:

Engine number is incorrect, but chassis number fits with late 1071and B reg (plate) is 64, If he has found the log book, there is every chance this car could be reshelled, but retain it's identity, there are ways and means over there! 8) The view is that a bodyshell is just another replaced part, like a clutch or a bearing, you just have to add up enough of the original cars components, and get a nice letter from the Mini Cooper register! :P

I am not suprisewd at the price if it is a 1071. :wink:

True, but stranger things do happen here... :shock:
Someone said that out of the 5,500 or whatever S's made here, only 15,000 are still on the road!! :lol:

Very true - from what I get told everytime someone wants to talk to me about minis, No one owned anything other than Cooper S minis.

Silly old buggers.
