A bit expensive! Don't think it will sell at that money. You could buy a nice one with a little more £.

look like a 1275 head on it

What a very interesting little car.

expensive but is it really that expensive by today standards ??.

Considering an air cleaner "wing nut" can sell for £27.60

I think the cars claim to fame "curse of the crimson alter" will induce some interest as car's with history are always more appealing to those with deep pockets.

I think it is expensive for what you are getting, but I also feel sure that in a couple of years time it will not look that expensive.

The engine does look like a 1300GT or 1275S unit to me too.

Its also an identical colour scheme to the Radford AA 1000, which was been filmed for another series in the same year.

Chassis number on that paper is MA2[S]4-886728 this is wrong for a Cooper unless it is a conversion. It does seem to have seats, bumpers, carbs and other indications of being a Cooper, but no chrome side window surrounds or brake booster.
Am I missing something?

Looking at the log book it does look like MA2S4, but it is also Grey & white, registered as 998cc, with a cooper engine number, boot brackets Cooper trim etc. I can't really see if the door chromes are there or not.

I would suspect from the pics supplied that it's a straight car that has a booboo on the log book.

Can't be certain without looking at it for real though.

Upon careful study, I retract my previous supposition and now think that what looks like an "M" is really a "K". Numbers are therefore correct.

All be it a very badly written "K"
