That's how I read it. I assume the original purchaser chucked it back at him then?

Could this be referring to a previous thread that I can’t find now about a RARE MK1 mini won at auction that had a factory fitted MK2 rear window years before the MK2 came out! The buyer refused to go through with the sale .

To be fair the buyer didn’t sound like he could tell a Mk1 from a hole in the ground and has a reputation for arsing people about.

Somebody's already nicked the "S" wheels and the stainless window surrounds off it

Is the Bonhams S the one pulled from Mathewsons auction a few months back?

Re: At The Auctions
Madadash is it? I remember buying one for my Cooper about 50 years ago. It was a flimsy piece of rubbish really but I thought it was very cool at the time
Yes, I agree the car has been for sale for a while and has I think featured on here at least once.

That's it! That does bring back memories . I had the "Rally seat covers" too and many other bits. Poor car looked like a Christmas tree

Yes I am a nerd: I am researching the Austrian Mini-racing scene of the 60s and 70s

Mk1 S at 1:53:30, £28k. Not sure if this was accepted though, very cheap.
Mk1 Cooper at 41:20, £15k provisional.
Mk1 Cooper lhd at 2:54:00 , £15250 provisional.
Don't appear to be selling that well.

That takes me back to the early 1970s in Essex when local competitors started to wear the B&G overalls on road rallies. Just along the road was another motoring shop - I think West Essex Rally Spares - shop? I remember our local motor club commisioned "nylon" rally jackets and also door stickers like the Ford ones, white letters on black rectangular background! Teenage kicks.

Re: At The Auctions
Oooh, very nice. Wonder what it will make, 30k would be low for a Cooper S in this market.
Of course I know what a dipstick is, you get called something often enough you look it up!

Looks nice but description made me chuckle..“ and there are no warning lights displayed on the dashboard” which I suppose is actually true
