A genuine cooper S evocation ??
In all fairness, the owner is not claiming anything that it isn't. The log book change is from the days when the DVLA would swap the name of a vehicle if you asjked them nicely. I reckon it's all of it's money at the current bid of £15 K though.
Yes, undisputed. Just a bit of an oxymoron though.

I'm liking the complete lack of seam under the headlight, but only on one side!

A good advert though - it should discourage the dreamers.

It's a V5 and collection of mechanical bits looking for a shell but it's a bit too much coin.

………“For some reason does not have a twin tank” unless it says it had one on the HC, might show some gaps in knowledge about what he has ?

Looks like he think's its worth £20K ish - in current DVLA climate, to part with that much money, without a guarantee of a V5, would worry me, quite a lot.

That looks absolutely lovely! If I hadn’t just bought an MGB GT I would definitely be interested in this!

Even without the ‘celebrity’ connection, an unrestored 21k miles from new mk11 Mini Cooper with documented history is a rare maybe unique car these days.

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/295891563391
Back in the 1970's my brothers and I used to search out Triumph Heralds in scrap yards to remove the Webasto sunroof which seemed to be fitted as standard to many of them. We would then recondition/recover them if required and they were the ideal size to fit to Minis if you were brave enough to cut the hole and fit a couple of steel strengthening bars each end under the roof lining.

Not technically eBay anymore but there a collection of Speedwell bits on a German marketplace website.
