Hi all,

I picked up a cooper s r/h tank yesterday at Bingley, I think it may be a Downtown one, as the person who I bought it off stated, if it is does anyone know what it will be worth.

I can upload some pics tonight, when I get back home from work.

Cheers

Bobby

Defientely not a Minisport one, as I just had a look on their site and mine is more of a square shape and straight edges and not rounded as much.

You will be lucky to find out! I tried to pin it down and loads of people said most likely this, possibly that etc etc with the most likely Speedwell then Downton. That is why the pair were £210, as i priced them as just a pair of tanks and didn't mention any name until you had them - If I could have proved it was a genuine 60's speedwell it would have been double that plus some! Either way they will look nice in your mk1. If you can find out for definate it will be bargain of the year. Good luck!

I agree, this is what I am doing trying to find out for definate, but will be good in my mk1 though, as I will not be selling this, just wanted to find out if they are genuwine Downton or Speedwell 60's one. I will be the happy man here if it is. :proud:
