[miniboo]

i reckon between 15000 an 20000 quid!

[crocstarr]

yeh i'll go for 20 grand. rarer than rocking horse s***

[minimole]

i saw a restored one go for 16grand on fleabay

[stevenford_uk]

what about a road race spec one? on weber 45, caged etc

[The Matt]

it's worth whatever some crazy A55 American is willing to pay on eBay for it! lol

[stevenford_uk]

i did not expect them to be worth that much, my dad has found me one for 1600 quid, full road race spec!
been dry stored for years!

[crocstarr]

i dont believe that lol. its gotta b a wreck. ive jus seen a shell with some extras for 2500 quid. a mint condition ones gotta b worth at least 10 grand.

[stevenford_uk]

going to call the guy tomorrow, to see if its a genuine cooper s,
if it is, i am selling my mazda mx5 cheap!!!
if its genuine its mine! how can i tell if its genuine when i go to look at it.

[The Matt]

documentation! Do a reg. check on it too, with the DVLA or RAC. For that price, if it is a MKI Cooper S it is a bargain!

You know how to ID a proper MKI shell for a start?

[stevenford_uk]

nope, not a clue

[Guess-Works.com]

10k, if it's a works cooper then it's blank cheque time

[Jammy]

I'd say £10-15k, maybe if its fully rally prepared edging up towards £20k.

[The Matt]

there's a thread on here somewhere about IDing MKIs. There are a few differences.

External door hinges,
front subframe top mounts are different,
bodywork is different from some later models in quite a few places too
erm


lemme look for the guide! lol
