Probably both.

He also has his rare E reg MK2 cooper on too. Perhaps he will give you a discount if you buy both. :lol:

Spaceframe project anyone?
Thats been on before, think you'd be better starting from scratch, think Endaf charges £3.5 for his chassis, that'd be FIA compliant too. Would rather have some fresh steel as opposed to 50 yr old stuff (who knows what the inside walls are like?)

I know this car, pretty spectacular in it’s day. Some of the pics are taken at Tregrehan in Cornwall. A lovely short hill climb where spectators could get close to the action.

Amazing to see it is still in one piece!!!

Not a specific ebay item just me having a rant about an ebay seller:

Saw a set of Landrover alloy wheels and tyres advertised (by a company whose business is to sell wheels) decent price but with carriage set at £300 with a message 'contact us for best quote'. Messaged them via ebay. No response. Sent them a WhatsApp message which they read but didn't reply to. Sent them another WhatsApp message to which they replied "sorry cant deliver". Sent another message asking if there was a problem with their courier service to get another reply "due to circumstances not available to courier". I was going to message them back and ask if I could organise my own courier but was pi55ed off with their customer service by this stage so they can keep them. Tw@ts!

My experience also, Ebay, generally, seems to be going same way as FB market place, which is a Fu%k#ng dire....waste of time

What do we think of this 997 guys?
No V5 (why not obtain one before you sell?)
Seems to have seat belt mountings in the rear?

There are no seat belt mounts in the rear.
I think it is a genuine Cooper shell but why sell with no V5 or no Reg number?? Would it not be worth getting so it boosts the price?
I'm on the look out for something a little special like this but would scare me.
Would suit someone with a 997 log book and reg number :oops: :evil:

There are inner and outer fixings of some kind at the bottom of the rear bulkhead.

1965 850cc - 'Re-registered 23 January 1998' stamped on the RF60, which was presumably when the first V5 was issued. Would of thought quite late in the day for an active car (as opposed to a err... 'barn find')
