The Metro Turbo did well, maybe it’s time has come, like some of the other 80s /90s cars ?

Did you buy it?

That looked a good buy. Was tempted myself!

Interesting 1963 Cooper. Possibly only 19k original miles. A bunch of mods were made for racing and it possibly raced at Sebring. Watch the video on the listing https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1963- ... nts-anchor

Really like that, especially the petrol tank…..no intention of buying it, but worth a good punt

Nice early Cooper on BAT;

$11k with 12 hours to go…..

And still only $13k now with just over 2 hrs to go!

Bet there’s plenty watching…….

For sure.
The bidding has to take off soon?

Certainly did, $33k (£26k) plus 5% buyers

U.S prices really are up with ours now. That said I spotted a cracking ex racing S in the U.S recently for absolute peanuts, they’re definitely still out there, and a lot more genuine than here to put it mildly.

Do you think it’s punters over here bringing them back, Pete?

I bet you had a dib…..! It did look a great find

No I've got enough! Yes plenty are still coming over here, but very much a car with U.S history from new that 997 and I actually hope it stays over there!

This Cooper has a very RARE steering wheel in it, made by Carlotti with COOPER engraved in it.
It was a special order by John Cooper for his own Cooper Car Co racing team, so very RARE.

I am looking for years now to find one.

Not mini related but might give a laugh;

A promising Cooper “barn (garage) find” in same auction. Still with all the “barn find” dust and various mouse nests

Still on wet suspension as well……

Someone has had some fun in that in the past… I like it!
