my stomach dropped when I read that first line - "oh no, something went wrong!", but if you've only lost it, then I can sell you another... ;)

sent one to Wollongong, australia post couldn't find it either :evil:

I found it, it was under my left foot. :mrgreen:

".probably have left the UK CKD in form later in '66..."

Well..No. It was built in the UK and shipped to a dealer in NZ who would have ordered it from the factory... For CKD cars the Factory had no idea what engine went with what body - and CKD kits don't have UK chassis numbers....

Wonder what colour hydro bags are included??.....

I'd like one of the experts to explain what proves its an 850???

Cheers, Ian

The CKD NZ cars had all of the Uk markings and from what i can recall they did have uk chassis numbers unlike OZ cars.

Also Coopers where registered in NZ as 850 Minis

I own one that was registered like that

he blue Mini is a nice looking car but its only a cousin to a Cooper

Not quite right. Actually, just wrong.......

I have the original rego papers for my 1964 Cooper S and it was registered as

Model: COOPER S

It had 10 miles on the speedo.

Registered 24th March, 1965 in Auckland. It was continuously registered as such until I imported it to OZ where it is registered in Vic. as a 1964 Morris Coupe. I much preferred the Kiwi's approach.
