Sold for $45k. That’s strong money for a racecar that still needs work before it’s legal to race here in the states.

There is what appears to be a super original and possibly low mileage MkII Cooper S on Bring a Trailer right now. It was a personal export to Canada and one thing that is strange is there is an extra “KC” on the engine tag (that is not on the heritage certificate). Anybody know what that might be??https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1969- ... nts-anchor

It looks like the car has optional 1.5” carburetors and someone is speculating that the engine may have had some custom modifications done by the factory that the KC corresponds to. But I have no idea if that makes sense.

KC = 11AC alternator
The power of accurate observation is commonly called cynicism by those who do not possess it.
