It’s a bitza but looks a pretty honest description to me and could be a decent buy for someone.

That’s really lovely, kind of my ideal Mini in many ways as it’s had a proper and honest life.Pete wrote: ↑Tue Nov 09, 2021 8:42 am It’s a bitza but looks a pretty honest description to me and could be a decent buy for someone.

Think its a perfect little S' not a wreck, not to perfect either. Fix the little things when one feels like it, like tidy up interior bits, maybe fit new carpet, make it look better under the bonnet and so on. So its one you could use like a runabout for all short trips to supermarket and such errands.
Hopefully.. never know how good the mechanicals are.
Another ideal thing is the single tank, no worries which righthand tank there should be fitted and cheaper to fill up!
Damn, sounds like I've bought it already

I can't see any hub cap attachment lugs..... I wonder of they're those early 4.5" 'comps' wheels without the lugs. Or am I just not seeing them? We often used to see them round these parts where they'd presumably 'escaped' from MG/comps. In fact I've got one!

This Mk2 S went for about £10k all in I think and the Mk1 is being sold as a Cooper not an S though it has a complete S engine in it.Pete wrote: ↑Wed Nov 10, 2021 1:36 am Coming up at Mathewson’s

If any of you folks fancy changing marques, or like me enjoy the best of both worlds, there was a cheap cosworth just sold at Silverstone - not!!!!
Not an RS500 version either - my gosh!!!

It is no secret that I was very keen on the Prisoner Moke, and had I managed to sell my patent, was hoping to have bought it. But at no point would I have been even close to considering it to be worth even close to the £69,7550 it is listed as having made today!
Tops in my mind was half that. And there are few folk who hit that sweet spot of Mini Fan and Prisoner fan as squarely as me (and Mr F), but someone clearly also added significant disposable income to that.
It was sold as a barn find (which usually adds a significant premium) for something like £13k, and so the Prisoner 'premium' was established at under £10k to my mind. AND Phil, the vendor has had the kudos of all the firsts - taking it back to the village, the conventions, the magazine and sunday papers coverage.
What would I know
Still, I'm delighted for Phil, gutted for myself, but at that money, even if I'd got my deal sorted in time, FAR too rich for my blood. No moke is worth that. Or so I thought.

Certainly some mad prices all round but the Rover Coopers looked good value compared to what else is around…
Re: At The Auctions
Posted: Sat Nov 13, 2021 9:08 pm
About £9k inc fees which if it was indeed an S chassis number was a good buy! Even with a Cooper chassis number it was worth a punt with the S lump in it. The blue Mk2 Cooper went for £15k which was also a decent buy. Contrast that with the £48k plus fees that Brewer’s tidy-ish ‘67 Mk1 S fetched at the NEC. That’s £38k for the car and £10k for John Cooper’s palm print on the roof.
Brewer changed his plea on the podium at the NEC to ‘owned by John Cooper Garages” but the auctioneer stuck with the “regularly used by John Cooper for two years” bollocks which the winning bidder clearly believed!
