Saw this car last weekend, what a shame car like that get "restored" by people who are only intrested in money and want to get everything looking new. All the details that make up an original car are gone and that with a car that " it must be one of the best and most original examples on the market !" .
And then on top of that :shock: look at the price!!

If you are dreaming of the perfect classic Mini Cooper S, then this is one you should have a go with, as it must be one of the best and most original examples on the market !

Mk3 bootlid :shock:

I know there is a school of thought that the last Mk2 Coopers perhaps did have this feature, along with the 4 wiper hole scuttle and I owned one myself once, but that was a very late ("H" registered) Mk2 not a 1968 which this car apparently is.

The car was sold in France, a couple of months ago, behalf of a "specialist" for... 20000€ :roll:

Nothing as been changed on the car since it has been sold..
