The colour looks more like Aconite to me. Also lots not quite right, could be a bargain though if the price doesn't go up to much.

Check out the sellers other items, quite a few rare old Mini related leaflets and brochures.
Lots more period items have just been added by the seller now.

I'm puzzled by this in the description:

"The car was given a DVLA vin no. and age-related plate in 2020"...

Does this mean it's been imported, or something else?

I reckon it has a Heritage bootlid and the slight curve at the top of the number plate aperture means that fitting the rear badges in a straight line is more difficult?
It's a hard car to value isn't it. It isn't expensive for a Cooper S. But then again it probably isn't one really :?
It needs some detailing and a V5 swap doesn't it :lol:

It's a Mark 1 1275S for less than some jokers are asking for a 1275GT. If it's as good as it looks and has the correct engine, it's worth the coin.

One to smother in waxoyl and just use.

I agree with Costa.

Easy to get too precious, this car is a great example of "It is what it is"

The car has probably been built up from a shell with no iD. They have done well to get and age related plate and pass an inspection to say that the car is built up of period parts.

From the DVLA
When you may need a new VIN or registration
If you have a kit car, rebuild, or radically altered vehicle, DVLA will usually have to assess it.

You may be able to keep its original registration number if you can prove the vehicle’s original VIN. If you cannot, you’ll have to apply for a replacement identity number.

DVLA will give you an authorisation letter to get the vehicle stamped with the new VIN if your vehicle passes its assessment.

You then need to register the vehicle - you can only do this when DVLA receives confirmation it’s been stamped with the correct VIN.
It is a kind of more subtle Q-Plate. I've seen a few classic bikes with them on, and the bear no resemblance to an original VIN number.
