Yea proper, talk about neglecting to do your homework.

It hasn't been clocked. The tester made a typo. Unless it gained 6k in a day, then lost them at the next MOT.

Yes, if you rummage through the previous tests you see it failed twice in 2014 with one being a typo.

 

Had a good number of failures, seems to often be the emissions.

Perhaps it needs a good Italian tune-up on the way to the test station.

Some people are so rich 32k is like loose change.

[r3k1355]

People often say that when a car goes for silly money. "Pocket change to a rich man that is"

 

Where are all these crazy rich folk when I'm trying to sell a car eh?

[CityEPete]

At auctions with a glass of bubbly showing off to their friends buying stuff at inflated prices probably?

Well I haven't posted for a while, but it seems things got a little out of hand while I was away. 20k for that is frankly ridiculous.

 

As for the later Cooper cars, I actually find them more interesting. My understanding is that John Cooper and after his son were more involved in the development of a number of the 90s specials, such as the Grand Prix, than the 60s Cooper S cars? Either way, I just think they are great (not that I'd say no to a Mk1/2/3 S sat in the garage (Mk 2 would be the preference!)
