The aqua mk3 was sold by him for no where near the price it's advertised for now . Everyone is on the bandwagon to make as much money as they can from anything with a Cooper s badge on . .... Ken

That is nice....off topic again, sorry but does anyone know where Aqua MK3 S NRA 264J is ? It was owned by my family in the 80s/90s.

Such a large number of cars on the open market are bought by dealers nowadays that it creates a self perpetuating hype and a percieved hike in prices. Other sellers then think their cars are worth the same money and so it goes on .What these cars actually sell for and whether they even sell at all is another story.

Didn't that Aqua Mk3 S go through JD Classics?

Well they wouldn't have sold it cheap that's for sure. JD also had a lovely Janspeed tuned Mk3 aswell that was for sale by it's original owner only about a year ago, I bet that's on it's third owner since then!

Ironically that one's depreciating, it was £30K last year! :lol:

Another good project here : http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Austin-Seven- ... _422wt_958

Early car for Island Blue, fortune to restore it though.

Looks like it was Speedwell Blue originally looking at the engine and luggage bays.

It is an odd colour, looks like Pageant Blue! There's a body number on the slam panel though where a later car wouldn't have one?. I wouldn't have thought those bids are genuine for a minute with the wiffy 'Private listing' , very wiffy.

Yes does look like Speedwell Blue under the surface (must pay more attention) but in '64? Smoke Grey maybe?

Yeah it was smoke grey under the blue, I would say it was done up to sale late 70's and they tried to bring it up to date going to need a lot of panels :o so many riveted on plates and loads and loads of filler :cry:

Looking on my lap top I think you're right with the Smoke Grey, with plain grey interior. Speedwell would have been fleck inside.
