NOS Churchill tool
If I were doing more than the one or two arms per decade...I'd be on this.

If you look through the sellers "other items"..... there's a nice pair of Lucas fogs.

In this case I don't think the world has gone mad. That's a pretty useful bit of bodyshell if your repairing or making a mk1 shell ..... Ken

someone is going to be disappointed when they buy that and discover that its got a Austin chassis number, not a Cooper one

I guess its one of those cars that was 'hopped up' in the 70's and had the model type changed on the v5

This is much more worth it than the pseudo Cooper:

Seen today on the bay:

Mini Marcos bodyshell only:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1967-Mini-Mar ... SwPc9W1LIW

He is confident that it will be easy to re-register in the UK. From another thread's debate, that may not be the case.

Complete Mini Marcos:

Seller says it is 1964 registered but it is on an A suffix.... I thought that was 1963 (when used)

It might have had a no plate transfer.

DVLA used to use A plates as the replacements.

A Plates were used in both 63 & 64 as they came in at different times over the country. But as has already been said, it has probably had a non suffix plate transferred away & an A Plate given as a replacement.
