Re: At The Auctions
It is yet another car "fully restored" without much attention to detail
The seat pattern looks the correct black colour for a Mk2 Cooper but the trim pattern more like a Mk1
Mk1 Bonnet badge too...

Re: At The Auctions
Oooh - sorry Kevin! The grey Mk1 is a bit special isn't it. I don't recognise the door cards at all but I suppose if you're the MD of BMC you could pretty much ask for whatever you wanted I guess they were a one-off?

Re: At The Auctions
I've always quite liked that Carlton grey car. Why BMC never offered microcell recliners as an option I will never know - they fold in half and hinge forward making it possible to get in and out of the back and they are nowhere near as heavy and un-wieldy as standard factory recliners. I guess it comes down to price...

Re: At The Auctions
Highest bid for the Carlton Grey car was only £7150.00. Website doesn't say whether that is a sale or not.
Only about half the estimate surprisingly.

Re: At The Auctions
Me too but it is never that simple. There may have been a reserve of course but even if there wasn't, Brightwells charge a premium of 12% plus VAT which adds another £1000 or more
Still doesn't sound dear though for such history.
Perhaps surprisingly, the poorly detailed red Mk2 Cooper was bid to £15,750 - which is over £18,000 once the buyers premium is added

Re: At The Auctions
Single tank and swivel visors indicate 65
HOY sat unsold for 18 months, hence the D plate.

Re: At The Auctions
The standard wheels sit right in the arches? I thought S brakes made them sit proud? Could be wrong though.

Re: At The Auctions
Wheels are certainly out a bit. Odd that it only has one S rim.
And my estimate is £21,500
PS This is not in tomorrows sale, but the July sale. Also on offer then are a couple of A35s, one is an academy car, the other is a Speedwell

Really do fancy one of those A35’s , however they’ve always struck me as a little expensive for what they are?
