The seller seems to be under the impression that John Cooper was the man behind Special Tuning :?

Nice car. Are those Special Tuning door cards?

Year of manufacture 1964 :roll:


I’m convinced that exact description was used to sell a completely different car some years ago, a Mk3 on that occasion I seem to remember?

71 COX is that what a lady suicide bomber can expect in heaven?

Not a reggie plate I'd chase after too hard!

Why so cheap! Surely it would be worth a lot more than that in parts alone.

I think some one will pay too much for that Clubman. It's neither one thing or another but looks to have had some money spent on it and been well finished with what's been used.

Wow, bit of an identity crisis there, not sure blue and silver brocade and black are a winning combo!

It's got to be said. I have just trawled through the "massive" entry for Mathewson's next 2 day auction & most of what is offered looks like complete pants!

Well they're not Bonhams or Christies, but at least they don't have a fiction writer doing the descriptions.
