It's amazing what you can do with some expanding foam and fibreglass!

I cant see a picture of the bonnet hinges properly as they are unique to the 69's
You can see one of the hinges in the enginebay pic, looks normal.

that clubman is nice, but its not a 'true' 1969 one as they had the strange back to front hinges (as did the early mk3 round fronts)
years ago a mate of mine had a light brown clubby that was a 'true' 1969 and it had them
however, it may be that its had a replacement bonnet and the hinges had to be swopped for the later ones, as the 'flat hinge' bonnets must be impossible to find.
it would be a nice car to have tucked away

That is one of those cars that fall into a category that some refer to as replication pretend cars in that they are neither original nor a flat-pack concourse rebuilds. They have some sense of humour £27ksmithyrc30 wrote:http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MINI-Cooper-S ... 3aaad897f6

It can't be a great job when 30 secs looking at the sellers own images can conclusively prove that its a wrong un. No doubt some fool will buy it though.

The car aside, this part of the T&Cs are a bit wiffy....
"The buyer must be able to provide a 50% sign in the next 2-4 business days after the accepted offer. The 50% left must be payd on the delivery,"

I never understand why people try to sell a car for this value and take photos on a nokia 3310
you are hardly likely to attract serious bidders with pictures that look as if they have cataracts......
give the guy some credit though, at least the door cards are in the right way round - that's my current pet hate on 'fully restored by a marque specialist' cars that dealers seem to be trying to flog at the moment!

Pete Seeger’s song is worth a mention here:-
Where have all the 998 Cooper cars gone, long time passing?
Where have all the 998 Coopers gone, long time ago?
Where have all the 998 Coopers gone?
Young men have converted them to Cooper S type everyone.
Oh, when will they ever learn?
