Just a word on the 850,
Admittedley it started without hesitation when I looked at it but it Did Not run as smoothly as described above. Sounded as though it was on 3 cylinders popping out the exhaust.
Possibly a valve?!!!
Also Boot floor looks creased out of shape from light accident damage.....

But man watch that bidding go nuts over the next hour or so. Any guesses on the winning bid? It would have been an interesting thing to poll when they were all first sighted.

with 17 disgruntled bidders there might be a bit of ebay consumer therapy going on for the coopers :lol:

This is like the Melbourne Cup...the forum will go quiet...

I still think the 850 will beat the Coopers. :D


I am not really biding on the 998 Cooper, why would I do that when I have a perfectly good $250 Cooper S sitting here doing nothing. :wink:
