Hi, this is my Dad's old mk1 Austin Cooper S. Every so often I check the registration check on the DVLA website and recently it tells me it has been repainted YELLOW and now has road tax. It used to be blue with white roof, and before that it was White with a black roof. It has Mk2 lights fitted by my dad on the rear and various other small mods. It was sold in the South-East of London in the late 1980s by my dad.

Does it belong to anyone on here or anyone that anyone knows?

Any information would be helpful.

If you wish to get in touch, you can email me on [email protected]


Many Thanks and happy New Year

David and Gerald Collins

Hi, just thought Id bump this thread as the cars details have changed. Hopefully the current owner may have joined.

Thanks

The enquiry is complete
The vehicle details for AMX 402A are:
Date of Liability 01 10 2010
Date of First Registration 10 05 1963
Year of Manufacture 1963
Cylinder Capacity (cc) 997CC

The car has recently been repainted from BLUE as it appeared on the vehicle enquiry a while ago (and how my dad had it) to yellow and it now has road tax. So if you know someone that has recently painted a Mk1 Cooper S yellow...


Please keep an eye out, we would so love to see this car now, even just a photo. Was my Dad's favouite car he ever owned. If you own the car or know someone that does, please get in touch.

Many Thanks

Just a bump for this. 

 

The FIRST owner has got in touch that now lives in Australia and emailed me some photos which is amazing! I am still hunting for the sole photo my dad has of this car in the 80s.

 

Would be superb if anyone knows the reg, or the owner offline or is actually on here?

 

Anyone recall seeing it at a show?

 

Thanks

Many Thanks for the original owner for sending me these!

If you have not got a good enough reason for a DVLA V888 form enguiry.......you need to ask someone who has access to DVLA owner records like a car park clamper and some motor traders, etc......

Also try asking on the Mini Cooper Register forum when it returns:

or Mk1 Forum here:

of course it may now just be the V5 transferred onto a later Mini or a new bodyshell as a resurrected Mk1 Cooper S log book is a very valuable document these days......
