I very briefly owned JOF129E in the nineties. It had been painted black and had a Clubman front end, rough as buggery - it came off the road in 1979. It wasn't a Cooper as such but iirc, it was a Mini Minor with a 998 Cooper running gear from the factory, an MA2S4 chassis number but 9F engine number. It may have been a police car - lots of Police Rover 3500 SD1's were specially built from 2300 cars with basic trim and no self levelling rear suspension. JOF is a Brum number plate.

Watch 'Robbery' and you can see the 100 mph speedo.

I sold it in 1999/2000 to a well known restorer of Minis. It has yet to resurface however.
