Hi all,

Got this passed onto me by a mate.

http://www.shannons.com.au/auctions/lot ... 3lyo8saySM

1970 Coper S replica.

Last auction they did have a decent looking Moke that got passed in.

Have a great day.

There are a few real Cooper S's that have been restamped with N--P numbers. Its a shame. See them from time to time at show and shines. Most of the ones I have seen were 1969 models that didn't have an ID plate. The liftup door handles were late cars so this should have had a plate.
Anyone seen this car before?

The History notes it has been fitted with a 'genuine heater core and blower fan' but the photos don't show one, or any water hoses heading off head or rad hose.

If it is a 1970 car, then it has to be a December 1970 build with those doors. The change over happened in December, my K is the same, a December 1970 build. Were matics built then?

I think Matics ran into 1971, but I'm not sure how far... Watto might know.

Looks good. My genuine 1970 Cooper S looks a lot less like a real S than that does. Be interesting to see what it sells for.
