Not an auction as such, I'm sure we have discussed this one before and the likelihood that JC once had a photo next to it, and may have sold it once, but that's about it.

That looks very genuine and saveable. Hopefully the restorer will paint it black again.

It was Mike Cooper’s car for a couple of years that’s all, not John’s, saw it a couple times at Goodwood about four years ago and a lovely thing but as we know when it comes to JD Classics the bullshit is often spread on it in a very thick layer in a vain attempt to justify the £140k that it’s never going to be worth half of. Same thing happened to the other Almond Green S that Mike Brewer claimed was JC’s personal car when in fact it was just one of thousands of Minis sold by Coopers over the decades.

Ah, that’s right, now I remember, this one was Mike’s that he sold, it was the other Green S that was linked back to John, I’m really glad that I’m not in the market for another Mini, it’s a minefield out there :lol: :o

But according to Simon Cowell his DB Mini has go kart holding so could drive around UXBs - Has he driven an original Mini? :lol:
