It’s a funny old world. I remember the 970cc as the poor relation. I owned two in the early seventies and no one wanted them. I also recall my friend in his 1098cc MG 1100 passing me on the motorway which was much embarrassment. The only interesting thing about the 970cc Cooper S is the small number built. They are not great road cars

Interesting how the “real” auctions adjust more quickly than EBay, wouldn’t be surprised if the 64 850, would get bid to over £5k on EBay

It says rolling shell but there's an awful lot of "stuff" inside and an engine. £1500 estimate = a bargain at the current mood, isn't it?

It's all crap inside!

There's nothing '59 left, doors, glass, engine, column, switch panel all wrong. Only thing I spotted early was the rear quarter glass and they were shot. Apparently it's had a pair of floors badly put in as well.

Still a decent buy for the early shell.

Just a heads up on the car below for sale. I sold it a few years ago for what it was, an 850 1963 registration AOD 787A with over sills, poor paint/panel gaps/filler etc. It’s now advertised as a 1964 cooper s with original 970 engine. Apparently it’s been rebuilt although it’s wearing the paint I sold it with :/. For sale at coys 35-40k. Carefully worded description that’s quite misleading.
