That looks very nice, and worth the £££.

Er pity they painted it Smoke Grey instead of Tweed Grey as stated in the advert...

[WMU 211G]

I thought there was something wrong with my eyes there for a minute...! Also has the wrong grille and there's no brightwork round the tops of the doors.... should the carpet be red or grey...?

There are a few Mk1 and Mk2 998 Coopers that have been sat around for ages in the same price bracket.

[CMC]

Nice car, but a few things to correct: the mirrors on the doors, the mk.3-on scuttle panel (extra wiper holes), the red carpet and the mesh grille on the bulkhead instead of the fresh air trunk. And the wheels...

[Old English White]

"Intelligently restored and nicely detailed" according to the sales pitch

[Costafortune]

So they used tools rather than garden implements?

[surfblue63]

"Intelligently restored and nicely detailed" according to the sales pitch

but not "correctly"

but not "correctly"

I think it would look better with a black roof rather than a white one, still not 'right' but a complete repaint into Tweed Grey below the gutter would be expensive.

Well spotted..towed to the photo shoot!
Does it have incorrect rear view mirror and an interior light which shouldn't be there?

[GraemeC]

I think the sellers assessment score of the van is a bit generous!

[Costafortune]

Sadly, some arse will restore it.

That wants the absolute bare minimum to avoid ruining it.

Yep mirror is too modern for that car and the interior light appears to be in an unusual place, still like it though!

Some nice stuff in that auction. Black RSP Cooper, 3.8 Mk2 Jaguar and 1948 Series 1 Landrover all took my fancy

I would love that van. I learned to drive in a 1967 van in that colour..paid £100 for it..another one i should've kept!
