When I first saw this cooler I thought the same thing, lots of money for a non-correct item. But then... it fits the space, pipes and correct bracketery so well... can it be another less known version of the cooler?

Early coolers are known to be 10 row coolers, the one on ebay is 8.

In short: top pipe and bracket are correct; bottom pipe does not seem correct; bottom bracket is not visible; the cooler may be the correct period extra fitted to Coopers, but certainly is not the one recognized as such.

The known item is this one, which by the way, I'm selling:

And here the one I have on my engine, where you can see why the bottom pipe may not be correct: http://rsn-mk1.blogspot.pt/2010/08/vert ... ooler.html

If it helps here's a pic of a BMC Oil Cooler kit taken from a BMC accessories booklet.
Oh, and the price back in 1969.

I´ve found a set a few years ago, for my 1071, I paid BIG money for that one.

Then last year i was going to pickup some Dunlop wheels a few kilometers from where i live, on the loft I found a set.
The seller didden´t know what it used for, so asked if it was for sale, and what he wanted for it :roll: . He asked if 100 dKr. was too much!!! ( 9.8 £ ). Said no, sounds fair to me....... :shock:

Talk about luck!! ( Or something, He was happy, I was happy )

Sorry should have been more specific.
The unusual cooler that recently sold on E-Bay went to Japan.
