Those are mine :) A few people here inquired but passed, so I figured I toss them up on fleaBay to see if Can get someone in Asia to overpay for them!
Anyone on the forum wants these, I'll do £225 + shipping (roughly $120 USD). PM me. To clarify, that 225 is per wheel :) I'm a nice guy but not that nice!![/quote]

+ import tax at this end, I think it's about 10%. Customs send you a letter after you've received any goods from outside the EU.

I wouldn't want to promote doing anything illegal but if one were to accidentally drop a zero when writing up the customs declaration....:)

My last offer wasn't quite a full 10% off but I tried to be a bit more accommodating...

I recall this car was for sale over here about 7 years ago. Nice wee car with a 1293cc solid block early engine. I recall it sold for about £7k ;)

I think that car was subject to a thread started by someone trying to authenticate it as an S on TMF a while back, standard Morris chassis number ect ect, I don't think they were best pleased to find out it wasn't a Cooper, nice car but £15K? (Waits for go and build one for that comments :P )

I like the way that he starts the auction at 99p but tells everyone that he will not accept anything less than fifteen grand.

That is as dodgy as Rich's Er. . . . Cooper S, it's just a bit shinier.

I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole.

at least the er' has got period history that documents all its twists and turns - at least it even says 'cooper s' on the logbook!

the seller of that car on ebay is just out to deceive - its just a morris mini

In all fairness, I reckon that is a car targeted at you. Its got Cooper S on the logbook, and as an extra special offer it's a 4 door saloon too :)

It MUST be as genuine as the seller claims. It has a repro JC Rear window sticker & a fake Downton badge. :lol:

35 grand for a MK3 someone has been at the crack pipe again.
