I'd be very happy with that. Sadly, he's not looking for a deal.
If anyone buys it for the engine, let me know
Oh, and his dad races a Lotus 25

As this car got a cooper S engine or is it one of those early ADO16 engines that supersonic mentions, Just looked at photo and it as a vacuum advance distributor ,but that could have been swapped ?????????????? and breather above flywheel , Mk 1/2 ???????????. If it aint got the engine then it will be an expensive Marcos !!!!!!!!! and the dash clocks look ADO16 ,Speedo is 100mph

Jason from Torquay is still sticking his fingers up to authority
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MINI-RESTORAT ... 7675.l2557
If he's on the list of your Cooper/S previous owners, it's probably one of these. I don't know where all the "dead mini logbooks" came from, but he sold a whole load of them.
I remember him saying to me (after I bought some wheels from him) regarding his 970 cooper S he created from a logbook and bits "Well, it's up to the buyer to do their due diligence"

Didn't he buy all the left-over mini parts etc from the late Dave Gilbert's collection? There was quite a haul.

I'm not sure, but he is in the top 3 of contemptible people I have ever met. Absolutely disgraceful human.
His attitude was "I'm here to rip people off, if they don't stop me, then **** 'em" I would go as far to say "psychopath"

Agree on "memorabilia" logbooks - I would have thought that an early dry 1964 White and Black Morris 1275cc Cooper S with a registration number ending in "1B" might be a bit of a give away should one emerge...

The 'right' thing to do would be for the VIC team to visit the vendor with a big rubber stamp and a red ink pad, take the details of each and every log book and stamp them on each page on both sides with CANCELLED in red ink unless there is proof the the vehicle actually exists and can be shown alongside the book. If it cannot, then the registration and chassis number is tagged in the database as gone without recourse to resurrection ever.
Then we would truly see how much these pieces of memorabilia are really worth. I doubt that it would be UKP 3000 unless John Lennon or somebody of similar fame appeared as an owner...
That said it would take some pro-active thinking and action for which the DVLA are clearly 'not staffed to accomplish' so the ringing trade will continue I guess until all the lesser less valuable models have been re-created into their more illustrious brethren.

Someones version on a Radford hatchback. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Classic-Mini- ... 1773631202
Looking at the welding & general finish I feel sure that as the seller suggests, it could be a lost Radford or Wood & Pickett shell.
NOT!

Seriously that is cool - I love pretty much everything that BMC / BL / Austin Rover produced and the Maestro is right up there near the top of the list.
Problem is, it's on the wrong side of the Irish Sea, and I have other projects needing finished.
If it wasn't for that, I'd be placing a bid

In all fairness the description of those wheel is very fair & accurate. If anyone was daft enough to bid on them, they would certainly get what they expected / deserved
Well if you like to go on holyday this is maybe it
