Just thought I should apologise to those who saw this and were not as fortunate as i this week. After over 2 years of searching and many disapointments I moved at warp speed to secure this. These are the ad picks of my newly aquired authentic 1969 mk2 cooper s. It will now run with the plate MIN10C so wave as we pass. I still can't get the smile off my face. Yahoo!!!!!!!

Beautiful looking car mate. Don't get the suspension raise, it looks hot just like that



Yeah, once the hydro is lowered the back sits higher than the front The helper springs don't develop enough tension in them when the car sits low to pull the back of the car down, thus raising the front.

Thank you all.
Yes Kenno it is sitting on the bump rubbers at the front and will need to get it pumped. And the deep dish wheel is a tad anoying as you have to take your hand off the wheel to reach the indicator stalk maybe i'll get use to it or grow longer fingers.

Peter, 69er club, never thought of it that way but is there no end to the joy these cars bring.

Speedy, its now on my work ute and is a great reminder of what is waiting in the garage when i get home.

Felix, don't i know it, honestly the planets aligned 11th of the 11th with a pool ball on the gear shift you guessed it No.11 first registered 24th Oct my baby sisters Birthday.
