DJB 93B sold for £124,875 looks like someone was happy to spaff the cash!!!

I presume its the same guy that spent £455.00 on a throttle cable recently.

Do you think hes got any money left, £140k for another works car 569 FMO, nice to have a pair of them ………..

I think for the £140k, ex-works or not, I think I'd like the wipers to actually sit on the windscreen properly...

Re 569 FMO
What is the idea of the mini screen, perspex, I assume ?

Maybe to improve demisting or safety ?

That must be a record for a Mk2 S

For me, I'd have walked away with £28,000 in my pocket and had a very handsome coupe.

No heated screens then, used to dissipate the heat (demist) evenly over the whole windscreen.

Cheers for that, was it common on works cars ?

Only the earliest cars, heater elements were also used to warm the upcoming air, then once the heated screens arrived, they were used.

The 64 monte cars had the deflector as well as a drivers side only (no Tok switch) windscreen.

Both cars look like blinders to me. Strong money for a Mk2 S but what a bewt

Certainly not a record for a mk2 . As some of you may know my mk2 cooper sold for £55k in 2015 . Quite proud of that and at this present time I don’t know or have heard of a higher price achieved… Ken

Sold for $45k. That’s strong money for a racecar that still needs work before it’s legal to race here in the states.

On Racecarsdirect. Racing Jag for the price of a Mini shell……

Sounds like quite a bit of development work done already

There is what appears to be a super original and possibly low mileage MkII Cooper S on Bring a Trailer right now. It was a personal export to Canada and one thing that is strange is there is an extra “KC” on the engine tag (that is not on the heritage certificate). Anybody know what that might be??https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1969- ... nts-anchor

[apblake]

It looks like the car has optional 1.5” carburetors and someone is speculating that the engine may have had some custom modifications done by the factory that the KC corresponds to. But I have no idea if that makes sense.

KC = 11AC alternator
