The Metro Turbo did well, maybe it’s time has come, like some of the other 80s /90s cars ?

Interesting 1963 Cooper. Possibly only 19k original miles. A bunch of mods were made for racing and it possibly raced at Sebring. Watch the video on the listing https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1963- ... nts-anchor

Really like that, especially the petrol tank…..no intention of buying it, but worth a good punt😀

U.S prices really are up with ours now. That said I spotted a cracking ex racing S in the U.S recently for absolute peanuts, they’re definitely still out there, and a lot more genuine than here to put it mildly.

This Cooper has a very RARE steering wheel in it, made by Carlotti with COOPER engraved in it.
It was a special order by John Cooper for his own Cooper Car Co racing team, so very RARE.
