Hello peeps, I have just come across an advert for a pristine 1964 1071 Austin Cooper S in almond green and old English white. It`s totally gorgeous and original following a restoration not too many years ago. The point is that the non-negotiable asking price is £25K, do any of you think that`s right, too much or what? I`d appreciate your opinions.

Where is it advertised and is there a link to the site ?, without seeing it you cannot put your own price on it..

If there was ever a car to command that sort of mental price, thats probably up there.

I wouldnt pay that for it, but someone probably would. Only thing i can spot wrong with it is it's sills. Theyre proper vented ones, but it would have come with 4 vent sills as opposed to 6 vent, but it's all down to how picky you are as to whether that matters or not.

Unfortunately that is around the money top Cooper S are going for these days, That car looks immaculate in those photos.

Id happily have it in my garage if I had that sort of money to spend on a Mini.

£25K is the lower end of the scale for a 1071 in its original body shell these days

It's what they usually go for, if it's worth it depends how much you want one

I see you're from the West Midlands, if it's reg is APB 18B it was mine once upon a time, and it was Tartan Red...

Just seen the pics, not the one I had for sure, lol

Hi Phil, I`m often in SCF in my coach, what`s your local club like? I`ve not actually joined mine yet but I get the impression it`s a bit "basic" though I don`t really know what to expect. I think the "meeting house" being a pub is a little off-putting.

looks nice and well priced for a 1071

 

a few issues

no photos of boot inside

or engine bay

wrong window catches

wrong handbrake

again as said wrong sills

doors seem to drop with large gap at the top maybe down to missing the white bush 

[Mini-Hazel-Nut]

If you look further down the EB page there is a pic of the boot but not the engine bay unfortunately, which seems an odd omission to me.

Window catches on back to front!

Alternatively you could have bought this 'barn find' 1071 S for around £15,000 and restored it..........
