Unreal, this person has 1,958 vehicles listed on Ebay and people are actually placing bids. I have reported them but really hope no one falls foul of scum like this.

I like the Venetian blind in the back!
I saw someone selling new ones of these recently (I think they are Asia based), would you like me to try to find the link again or no need?

I bow to your anorakness, but please share your wisdom! I would have been taken in!

And in the interest of moving forward with solid progress for the forum, I suggest that the 'H' in this threads title WTH??!?! should reflect todays many varied and underlying social tensions and be changed to 'F'.

A 1966 Cooper will be a 998cc car, replacing the earlier 997cc engine model. But its quite common for the logbook to say 997 for a 998(which this car does), it’s just a seller not knowing calling it a 997.

Edit they have corrected the listing!

The thread was originally entitled WTF, I changed it to reflect the family friendly nature of the forum.

Some of those early Coopers were known to have perished in the great fire of London.

Sorry Mark, couldn't resist.

Bonkers money, very easy to make a mould up to produce fiberglass or carbon ones, simple to do and you could even get the textured surface too if you're clever.
