Found this gent. Has some really nice steering wheels and lights and some other tasty bits. He had something up on eBay that I inquired about and he pointed me to his page. I like the Wipac 294s but a little too late for my car, although, maybe not for when it was being rallied, I suppose. And he no longer has the LL Sebring-style mirrors (cough, cough). We started chatting and he said he has some good Mini parts and he would be putting up a page of them soon.

Seemed a good fellow and willing to negotiate prices.

Collapsible aluminum pillars, worn pads (gone through the chill hardening) with the hammer break off tips.

Even BMC thought they were crap and replaced them with the pressed steel arms.

Still cannot understand why people try and charge so much for them....
I checked to see what else he's selling. I love that it's all engine parts basically and then randomly, a dish washer. Rare Works tuned dishwasher, I believe.
It's what he cleaned all the carbs in, now it shagged and full of muck.

Hammered at £14,000, so cost the buyer £15680 with premium and VAT. I did notice that the car has no external extinguisher or battery isolator so it still needed a far bit of work before it would be eligible for anything.

Advertised as a mk2 S....
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1969-AUSTIN-M ... SwF0NXL3iN
However I don't recall Mk2's having riveted boot board brackets.......

What an obvious very poor fake......do these fakers think we are stupid ??....This is obviously a basic MK2 Mini, ok condition, with some repro S stuff thrown on it, along with a GT engine and box, I bet it doesn't have hardy spicers....and a Cooper S identity from a car that rotted away years go attached. It is probably a good basis for a " recreation ", but lets be realistic !!
PS...I talked a friend out of viewing this with the intention of buying today.......at that price anyway ! :roll: :roll:

the voltage regulators were never fitted in front of the stiffener gusset on any Ss either......

That's not bad value if it's a genuine S, especially if it's got a SMMC engine
