That looks very genuine and saveable. Hopefully the restorer will paint it black again.mk1coopers wrote: ↑Sat Nov 11, 2023 8:34 am Another one, looks like a genuine start for a restoration, all be it with some ‘interesting’ previous repairs

It was Mike Cooper’s car for a couple of years that’s all, not John’s, saw it a couple times at Goodwood about four years ago and a lovely thing but as we know when it comes to JD Classics the bullshit is often spread on it in a very thick layer in a vain attempt to justify the £140k that it’s never going to be worth half of. Same thing happened to the other Almond Green S that Mike Brewer claimed was JC’s personal car when in fact it was just one of thousands of Minis sold by Coopers over the decades.mk1coopers wrote: ↑Mon Nov 13, 2023 1:03 pm Not an auction as such, I'm sure we have discussed this one before and the likelihood that JC once had a photo next to it, and may have sold it once, but that's about it.

Ah, that’s right, now I remember, this one was Mike’s that he sold, it was the other Green S that was linked back to John, I’m really glad that I’m not in the market for another Mini, it’s a minefield out therePete wrote: ↑Mon Nov 13, 2023 5:35 pm

I wonder how long replacement rubber diaphragms would last these days
Chassis number WA2S2559042 - first registered on May 27th 1964 in Suffolk this is a VIKING PERFORMANCE engineered example with Crayford Convertible roof. Viking added a Taurus stage 1 head with the Mini Cooper’s Twin 1 ¼ inch SU carbs. Fitted with, what appear to be Avon Safety Wheels we believe this example may have an SPQR close ratio gearbox and modified suspension. The car clearly has an SPQR supplied organ style throttle pedal also noting the car has what appears to be a non original, 1098cc unit. The car has been off the road for many years and is offered as a full restoration project and is a non runner with no keys. The last keeper change is recorded on HPI as being during 1986 almost 38 years ago.
