i understand were people are coming from as i have read alot of the forum topics and understand were they are coming from. i can assure everyone that im not into stolen stuff as i have lost a holden GTR XU1 and was never recoved and now is worth a mint.

i willing to pay upto $20K for the right car if i find one can some one tell me if im one the track with the money im will to pay or an i to low or high for this type of car?

i have seen two so far and was not im happy with what was on offer eg rust in rear pillers near rear window the other was mark 11 with a mark 1 motor and didnt have a brake booster.

i have downloaded what a cooper s should have on it and it didnt match but the tag was for a mark 11 coopers.

if anyone knows of a cooper s for sale please let me know or wher i can find one so far im looking on carsales.com.au and tradingpost as well as mini car clubs web pages around australia. im willing to travel for the right car.

In my opinion for $20K you should get a recently restored , matching numbers cooper s so you're looking at the upper end of them . I think an older resto or unrestored but driving and registerred would be about $8K to $12K but there are a lot of variables involved .

Welcome Chris...have you searched the For Sales on Ausmini....Coopers don't generally move fast (cept under cover of darkness ) as it is a subjective and emotional purchase...not to mention the semolians required. Good Luck.

I agree it is a shame that due to a few undesirables we have become on the back foot with giving information straight and directly. Best of luck with finding what you want. See you at the next general meeting of the club possibly.
