Thank you for your kind offer but after some serious thought think I'm gunna keep hold it.I would be interested in that at £6k its begging to be restored. If its anything like my mk1 nearly every panel needed replacing and with interior and engine build you would be looking at around £15k+ for a full restoration to concours
Thanks all for there feedback and comments :)

Glad it's in the hands of someone that can do it justice and not keep it locked in a shed all year!

As everyone says, keep the car, restore it, its only going up in value, think of it this way, £10k in the bank will get you £100 odd interest a year, a genuine cooper s value will go through the roof in years to come, classic cars are a definite investment goldmine :)

If you could get a piccy that would be great thanksI may have a wheel, not sure if its the correct type for your car though, it might just be a reverse rim (got the round holes in the wheel centre instead of the long holes) ill get a pic of it for you if you want? (i got it from an old gent years ago, he said it came from a rally mini back in the day, its painted gold so his story might be true!)

If you are after 4.5 cooper S rim minisport do very very accurate replicas. Very good quality.
Can't wait for the build!
I have 3 sets of the proper steel ones :)
