WTH??!?! Have you seen this item on ebay.

Looks like early Cooper and S levers make more money than the straight ones from a 59 nowadays

I've toyed with fitting an A35 dash to a Mini before (and a Midget one incidentially) as the widths are pretty similar.
What are the seats out of does anyone know?

Issigonis' concept sketches for the original Mini clearly show he was thinking along the lines of the A35 dash too.

Interesting that he also had the cold air vents long before they were introduced. I wonder why it took so long for them to come in?

Am I the only one who thought this was on the inexpensive side?

Fancy another Hornet Pete

No , but Jeroen will love it!

Oh yes, I do!
Pity the original registration reg number appears to have gone, though.

[Old English White]

Well spotted but if it is a 1962 that registration wouldn't have been original either! ("B" suffix = 1964).

How does this differ from a regular remote shifter?

[mk1]

It doesn't.

Just more ebay nonsense!

Later gear sticks had the anti rattle weight (the cylindrical budge at the base of the later gear stick) and as such I believe that the domed rubber gaiter that was another feature of the earlier coopers won't fit over it.

Important if you want the interior of your 1070 to look right!

I paid £5 for the last one of those early levers I got as a spare, and it came with the remote!

No one wanted it, it's wasn't chrome so it wasn't for a Cooper

[swifty]

I don't think that the clubman made its reserve ? Or did it ? ... Ken

Were all the cooper ones chrome? I thought that was just the elfs and hornets?

The early ones that go with the small dome rubber gaiter are black, the later ones are chrome, it was (is) just another one those Cooper / S myths (like 'can't be a Cooper S it's only got one fuel tank ect )

Thats what I thought just checking. At my age things start to blur....................

No it didn't, my brother was the highest bidder.

Well... Both are original and new old stock

[tintoptom]

maybe we should start a proper thread on this?!

The other area to consider (as well as the mutants) is the Supers which I believe had black sticks to start with, then went over to chrome... Where's garry (FCV.66) when you need him!

I guess Toby's chrome non anti rattle stick would fall into the transition period?
