That looks a nice car . Horrible boring colour

[davidnutland]

Super rare car, one of the first Mk3 Coopers, the early ones were built with a British shell 65 bhp 998 with all Cooper S rolling gear, I like the colour.

Glorious!

Surely David, it's a '70 Mk3 mini 850 in that bedouin(?) colour. Not an S

On the subject of Mini's at Mathewson's, does anyone know anything about the 1970 Innocenti they've got coming soon?

I may be mistaken, but did I see this car at Blyton last year? Anyone on the forum know of the car? Cheers! Ed.

Peter see the car in Tweedy 998 post as the kids say "my bad". The Innocenti MK3 Cooper is well known in Inni circles, I would hope the estimate is a come buy my figure, it has been rebuilt beautifully.

There is, to my knowledge, no such car as a Mk3 Cooper 998?

The car in question is just a Mini 1000 isn't it? Still rare in early Mk3 form I agree.

Hi Old English they made over 15k Cooper Mk3's at the Innocenti factory

That may be so (?) I know nothing about Innocenti Minis which in any case were never sold here. The Mini in question is not an Innocenti anyway so not really relevant Were Mk3 Innocenti Coopers 998cc?

Yes they were 998s with more or less the 998 Cooper engine. There were ca. 4800 Innocenti Cooper Mk3 built with the english doors - without quarterlights and ca. 10600 with the Innocenti quarterlight doors. All rated at 60hp SAE!

How can possibly be put up for sale again???

Easily! John Parnell’s words on this subject clearly fell on deaf ears thirty bloody years ago and still do!
