Saw this on Ebay.

By my calculations it is the 63rd Cooper S made. What is left of it.

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/1967-MORRIS- ... 586wt_1298

Does anyone know the car?

It looks Genuine but It has many mysterious looking things on it like a 29D distributor. Is all the rust genuine ? My God... Needs a re birth..

ID plate still there, so guarantee still intact.

Is that the way it works?

There's no guarantee but damn it looks lot more genuine than some of the ones floating round. Panels are cheap but genuine id isn't.

Worth saving....... I think so.

It's a police issued number rest amped into a machined block to make it legit for rego at some stage in the long distant past.

Well certainly the 49th body built but 64th car completed. Lost is place in the queue for some reason, perhaps for the fancy red roof. :wink:

First time I've seen or heard of a Royal Red car, although that colour does appear on the factory paint card.
