I don't think even that came from 1968. The numbers are stamped in not raised....

Agree. There wasn't any attention to detail that I could see even in the 'arty' shots of the car.

Maybe he means the door cards are in the right way up? :D :D

Sold for £22,700! Why don't buyers do their homework before buying? When will this madness end?

Nothing to support it being a Cooper other than the badges?

There's a reason for that - they're ugly as hell and look like a prop vehicle from Logan's Run or some similar 70's film.

This is obviously one of the 300 Rover Cabriolets built in the mid 1990's. There is nothing on it at all from 1968 and yet it is apparently ok to be registered as a tax exempt 1968 car?
