This 67 Cooper project was poorly described and a bargain

this was on ebay the other week, but not as polished - so I assume someone is hoping to flip it for a profit

its odd though, if you take into account the thickness of the strange lip and the little buttresses, then the cover either 1) doesn't fit onto a mini, or 2) must be really thin so it fits behind the head studs - in which case I wonder if its going to hit the springs and the rockers.

its certainly unusual though

My guess from the pics are Wood & Pickett rear quarters.
These are called "Double Shadowlite" and were deleted early 1974.

Here is a link to a car with these fitted

That rocker cover is horrible.

The seller certainly has a "Shotgun approach" to his listing title & I particularly liked this bit;

"WITH WHAT MAY BE A COSWORTH NUMBER CAST INSIDE?"

:lol:

too be fair to the seller, cosworth could have used that casting number on an entirety different item and for an entirely different application - so from that leftfield point of thinking its not a bad assertion to make! :lol: :lol: :lol:

that looks like its had a chain passed through the front and rear screens and has then been lifted up with it!

no doubt its been yanked from its damp resting place!

What a crying shame it's been stored so badly - one previous owner and genuine 30,000miles according to the seller :cry:
That shell would provide some restoration challenges wouldn't it :shock:
It's also listed as an auction and bid to £620 at present.
