Is the green one really 17.5 grand?
The interior is a bit pants. Wrong front seats, ripped/stained rear seats, no dash trim and the wrong engine, although you can buy the right one for more (I'd guess quite a lot more) cash.
Should a 64 have the safety boss door handles and cut away front panel?
Doesn't seem very cheap to me.

Seen on MCR forum, Coy's have this "BMW Morris Cooper" for auction...... :lol:

"What we have on offer today is a unique and original BMW Morris Cooper with Swedish FIA papers and period race and rallying history. Having been well-looked after and presented today in very good condition (despite the rally-related patina that is to be expected), this example we are informed is rust-free and ready to be enjoyed.
This BMW Cooper features many options, some of which are standard on this original Cooper; Double fuel tank, dual SU Carburettors, Halda tripmaster, Cobra bucket seats, roof light, four point belts, disc brakes, new rally tires, stopwatch, Works dashboard, 4 Lucas spot lights with corresponding covers, straight exhaust, braking system, spaghetti exhaust manifold, engine protector, fire extinguishers, etc."

I noticed that in the catalogue - the joys of auto-correct I suspect, (and a sleepy proof reader)

Fair comments.....probably a bitsa with a 1071 S identity attached...

Decent set of Allycat Mambas. If they were here in the States I'd think about it. But then again my wife wouldn't be too happy if another set of wheels showed up!

Dear Lord. If even Rich thinks you've gone too far! I like his honesty, though. Interior need a refresh because it's just him and the dogs.

Went to view it today. Has some tasty bits...and loads of character, but condition wise, was not for me.
Thanks to the people who helped me with the history.
