Yes, I realise that HE is from NZ, but he states (in the questions & answers) that the CAR was an Oz assembled CKD car .NZmember wrote:He is from New Zealand which got UK built CoopersOld English White wrote:I didn't think Australia were still assembling CKD cars as late as 1967?

The photos aren't that great but the car appears to have an Australian chassis plate I think?

Oz cars had wind up windows from 1965 onwards. This car has sliding windows so presumably is a UK car. Which ever it is and where ever it is from it looks a bit pricy to me.

Once "restored", this will be another one for sale that is "in very good condition because the previous owner had it dry-stored for 25 years"Pete wrote:Not the most descreet way to sell a logbook :

The shell looks able to be restored to me.
Just need to replace the wings, front panel, roof, floor, boot lid, doors and a couple of other bits and pieces.
The bonnet looks solid so that's a bonus!

Re: WTH??!?! Have you seen this item on ebay.
If you are thinking of bidding on this you should take very, very careful note of the last line. I would also draw your attention to the engine number.
Here I shall give the following information which you may need to check the vehicle history;
Reg. No. = HMV 773E
Chassis No.= K-A2S4-1000684
Engine No. = 9F-SA-Y58456
Make = MORRIS
Model = MINI COOPER S
Body type = SALOON
Above are from the V5c
The power of accurate observation is commonly called cynicism by those who do not possess it.

Re: WTH??!?! Have you seen this item on ebay.
Sound advice. The seller is perhaps a bit foolish printing the full registration number as it isn't impossible for the DVLA to put a marker by it. Assuming that IS the correct registration of course. A quick DVLA car check of that registration didn't show up when I triedSimon776 wrote:If you are thinking of bidding on this you should take very, very careful note of the last line.

HMV with an E suffix isn't a period issued registration i.e. it was not issued in 1967, although it could be one used for re-registrations.

Re: WTH??!?! Have you seen this item on ebay.
See, what you really need to do is to go to minispares, get some chassis plates made up, go and break into someone's garage, steal their red/white cooper S and hey presto, a proper Cooper S for £3100.
Perhaps not such a bad idea after all.
I am of the opinion that the DVLA should follow through with their small print threats. Go and read your V5c if you haven't already....it's enough to stop anyone putting one on ebay.
