Yes a very nice original S 65 in the US. I would have bid $20k, but it's now at $30k - so the market remains strong.
it might be the front half of an ex works 'push me pull you'Gray wrote:Sure it's not a trailer?
O this IS the original BJB77B Maybe Gray's right. There is only the front half visible so perhaps that's all he's got? Maybe we could arrange a marriage?Gray wrote:Sure it's not a trailer?
Looking at it full size on the Mac, its definitely a complete car.Old English White wrote:Maybe Gray's right. There is only the front half visible so perhaps that's all he's got? Maybe we could arrange a marriage?Gray wrote:Sure it's not a trailer?
Yes, he bought my '69 Mk2 Cooper when I put it on ebay, two days later he'd doubled his money on it. Oh well, ce la vie!mk1coopers wrote:Isn't this guy a trader who was buying lots of Mini's then putting, how shall I put it, a substantial Mark up on them ?

Pretty soon they'll be someone on from Japan saying they've got 2 halves of a car with the same number plate ...Old English White wrote:Maybe Gray's right. There is only the front half visible so perhaps that's all he's got? Maybe we could arrange a marriage?Gray wrote:Sure it's not a trailer?
Yep, but I seem to remember there was some discussion on how certain cars were described, (like that's never happened before) when they obviously weren't what was being sold.GraemeC wrote:Isn't that what a trader does?

rather interesting reg number on the car in the back ground !
OR.......No, forget it..... Swings and roundabout I suppose Andrew! I seem to recall when he bought UWD 672G from me it went to Northern Ireland, along with some other cars he'd bought. I'd put it into storage down at Southam and he sent an old boy with a flatbed to pick it up from there, I felt a twinge of sadness watching it leave Rod Taylor's yard that day.Andrew1967 wrote:He doesn't always make money Nidge.WMU 211G wrote:Yes, he bought my '69 Mk2 Cooper when I put it on ebay, two days later he'd doubled his money on it.

A few months ago, he bought my workmates Mk2 998 'Cooper' for just over £4K and couldn't get more than £3K for it on eBay
Yeah, he does normally though
Pete that looks like the work of someone as in the Harry Potter sense of 'whose name shall not be mentioned' but begins with a G! all that detail gloves etc for the Japanese market! I may be wrong and apologies if it is someone genuinePete wrote:Its fair to say it's a Mk2 with a Radford interior but never been established to be the work of Radford. Trim is older than the car, lovely car though!
