The Springall wheel above is also the small centre variant as fitted to 1100 & 1300's.

I can highly recommend Lens Wheels they are a real work of art.

The 2 cylinder block is being sold by a member on here. It is a very high price, but it is also an almost unique part of Mini history too.

This one's pretty bold I think.... selling it as a 1071 S.... yet there is no logbook, no engine, no boot -no nothing to identify this as a 1071 S - yet alone a Cooper!!

So sad.
Cheers,

Oh man it really is something special. I saw it earlier today and that is a seriously rare motor car. Had a blow over a' la all things 70's but that aside what and honest and complete Cooper S. I think it will be restored to a really high standard too.

Wow that really is a fantastic find, virtually brand new. As for the price, well it's still a bloody Mini . :roll: Every dealer and his dog thinks they've hit the jacpot with Minis at the moment, few of 'em are selling though not suprisingly.

Now THAT is true "timewarp condition" 8-)


Was expecting the seller to be "The Doctor" this is usually his style of car.
