Looks a nice one on the face of it

Absolutely miles out with that estimate though, really nice restored Mk2 Ss are about ten grand less than that estimate nowadays.

Non of the Cooper S’s sold at todays Historics auction.
Huge number of unsold lots in general, as there were at H&H’s Duxford sale last week.
I don’t thing sellers (and auction houses) have clocked what classic cars will actually realise just now. Interest rates finally catching up with asset values I guess amongst a lot of other factors.
