Yeah we've got one. We get the driving experience and the looks, for 1/2 the real price.
As you say, good replicas are appreciating, too.
Worth the price in S parts these days.

Mk1 Cooper S production started in August 1965 with car number YKG2S2501 , the last car , number YKG2S25486 , being produced in April 1969 , making a total of 4985 cars . Mk2 Cooper S production started in May 1969 , with car number YG2S4501 , through to the last car , number YG2S42919 , in July 1971 , a total of 2418 , with the last 113 cars produced having "burst proof" door locks and the lift up door handles....a grand total of 7403 Cooper S , if my maths are correct . The 1969 model didn't have any ID plate fitted at all , it only had the chassis number stamped into the radiator shroud panel . From 1970 onwards they had an ADR Compliance plate fitted . This plate has the chassis number and date of despatch from the holding yard to the selling dealer on it ( not the date of manufacture !!!!) ...info courtesy of Rover Australia ...........cheers

for some reason I always thought my car was number 543 off the line (YG2S4543) but starting at 501 I guess that makes it number 43 - so it is quite an early one!! explains all the mk1 stuff in it I spose...

and it doesn't have a compliance or ID plate for all the reasons already stated by everyone else... When I was first looking at it I was worried about that but the seller gave me an aussie Mini magazine from a few years ago - put out by FF&R I think it was - that explained all about it...

Yes thats a very early one Geoff ...........
