Surely you would remove the old blankets from the interior pictures if you wanted serious offers, great job of
changing the colour from White to Red, can't seem to find any traces of the original colour

'......had nothing but problems with my Cooper S.'
Is that the green Mk3 'S' or the ex-police Mk1 'S' .... or both ? I suspect both !!
Definitely has lessons from the Norfolk seller (not Rolex Bob).

The Mk3 bitza (described as a barn find Cooper S) he wanted £30k for ended up going through Mathewson’s for about £6k. So although the bullshit works sometimes (certainly did for Mike Brewer) it doesn’t always. Can’t see anybody believing the latest offering is anything other than a Tartan Red 850 but he’s massive on Instagram so no doubt some daft sod will buy it.

Unlike the previous two lemons that one actually has a genuine chassis plate screwed to it Andrew. Nice 850!

Guess you have seen the engine bay which strangely he seems to have left off the ebay auction.

Someone said to me the other day : that car is just one step further than just writing ‘Mini Cooper’ on the boot of an 850 with a biro.
