He is from New Zealand which got UK built Coopers

Yes, I realise that HE is from NZ, but he states (in the questions & answers) that the CAR was an Oz assembled CKD car .
The photos aren't that great but the car appears to have an Australian chassis plate I think?

Oz cars had wind up windows from 1965 onwards. This car has sliding windows so presumably is a UK car. Which ever it is and where ever it is from it looks a bit pricy to me.

Looks alot pricey. Is that trim kosher Oz spec for a CKD ?

Once "restored", this will be another one for sale that is "in very good condition because the previous owner had it dry-stored for 25 years"

in very good condition because the previous owner had it dry-stored for 25 years

That is unless some clot accidentally spilled a glass of water into the desk drawer.

got a rare 'three door' s block as well

Yup that's possibly one breather too many

The shell looks able to be restored to me.

Just need to replace the wings, front panel, roof, floor, boot lid, doors and a couple of other bits and pieces.

The bonnet looks solid so that's a bonus!

Looks like a works bonnet to me, more than enough to rebuild it a s an ex works Mini then !

Sorry, did I just say that out loud......

Here I shall give the following information which you may need to check the vehicle history;

Reg. No. = HMV 773E

Chassis No.= K-A2S4-1000684

Engine No. = 9F-SA-Y58456

Make = MORRIS

Model = MINI COOPER S

Body type = SALOON

Above are from the V5c

If you are thinking of bidding on this you should take very, very careful note of the last line. I would also draw your attention to the engine number.

Sound advice. The seller is perhaps a bit foolish printing the full registration number as it isn't impossible for the DVLA to put a marker by it. Assuming that IS the correct registration of course. A quick DVLA car check of that registration didn't show up when I tried

HMV with an E suffix isn't a period issued registration i.e. it was not issued in 1967, although it could be one used for re-registrations.

Son of god!

£3100.

Are people mad? The DVLA will know about this in a major way.

Only place for that is on a track. If it is what he says it is!

See, what you really need to do is to go to minispares, get some chassis plates made up, go and break into someone's garage, steal their red/white cooper S and hey presto, a proper Cooper S for £3100.

Perhaps not such a bad idea after all.

I am of the opinion that the DVLA should follow through with their small print threats. Go and read your V5c if you haven't already....it's enough to stop anyone putting one on ebay.

Ever seen this airfilter ( Original ? )
