This looks like a nice wee early car but more than likely they want telephone numbers for it

I would not give them £5k for that 997cc Cooper. How on earth do they think it is worth £35kPete wrote:...and on the Austin page is this...

"HRN Heritage Automobiles is presenting for sale this 1963 Austin MINI Cooper, 997, ex Tommy Sopwith BTCC Race Car Driver with OSELLI period tuned engine"
This car was discussed at length on the old MCR forum , the 'Tom Sopwith' that appears on the buff logbook for this car isn't THE Tommy Sopwith, son of the aircraft aviation pioneer and early saloon car racer. I know because I asked Sopwith himself!
Funny old world, no comments from MCR members as this car is advertised by one of their long standing head buck catsSupersonic wrote:I would not give them £5k for that 997cc Cooper. How on earth do they think it is worth £35kPete wrote:...and on the Austin page is this...

Looks like someone may well get their pants pulled down and their arse well and truly slapped with that car then.Supersonic wrote:Funny old world, no comments from MCR members as this car is advertised by one of their long standing head buck catsSupersonic wrote:I would not give them £5k for that 997cc Cooper.

Looks like it might have been plate raped as well
Didn't think that lot would hang around for long, how often do you find a decent complete set of red/grey/gold interior? It all came out of a 998 Cooper that was converted to a track car, d0 you remember it at Goodwood in the carpark in 2009 Mark/Rich? I wanted to buy it before I built the Hornet but it was pretty steep (£15K I think, seemed alot back then). Anyway, it was then stripped (lawd knows why), and repainted Fiesta Yellow. It was then auctioned (can't remember where, Silverstone or Goodwood maybe) for about £30K and then rebuilt into an App K racer. It appeared at the Brands HRDC A series Challenge race last week. Phew, why the f*ck did I need to tell you all that?STG95F wrote:Looks a nice original set , And not a bad price
