I had an old beater of a mini when I was 14 bougt for $300. I used to rally about in on gravel forest roads, nothing special but it died a horrible death on a large rock... still there as far as I know <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

The Cooper S is getting rarer, quite a few where bought over here and they used to race them at Bathurst up against big ol 70's V8 muscle cars, they did pretty well too!
My flatmate Martin had a cooper S before he got the 180SX and we used to spend weekends replacing the head gaskets quite a lot, still the little barstard took off like it had a rocket up its arse and had this really cool, evil hissing sound from the twin 45mm SU's.
You didnt want to stand real close, it'd suck an arm off <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

Eventually he got sick of rebuilding the engine after hitting redline every weekend and sold her off, you could feel the pain.

Anyway, Im off to bed, 7am after a 12hr nightshift does not make a happy MK...

ed- cant spell either <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('>

hehe. you guys and the UK treat em like theyre disposable cuz you got so many! we only got em from '59-'67, a few '68's so they are very valuable. my car sold for $19,900 US bucks after it was done. but it was literally a new car, every nut & bolt!! :shocked: they can be had as cheap as $3000 in restorable condition.
sleep well!

TJ, where did you host that pic?  I just got a few pics of my car that I wanted to try to post.  But I have no idea on how to go about doing it.

MK · 01-31-2002, 09:17 PM

$3000! For a clapped out one?
Man, your getting robbed!
Most of the average, still running bog-stock ones can be had for what would be $600-1000US, assuming you can still find one. Actually I havent seen many on the streets over the last 8 years but theyre still out there. A good, mint condition Cooper S though will set you back about $6500 US though, fully restored and everything.
Most of the Clubman ones have all been done up ages ago with Cooper S parts and brakes anyway.

So yeah, they where pretty disposable I guess <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>
Mind you, I had this origional Mk1 Ford escort Coupe (bought for $1000AU at the time) done up as a rally car as well that died a horrible death on a rock and 3 pine trees as well. Looking back on it, yes I have done some really evil things to some genuine collectors cars that Im kicking myself for now because they are worth a bloody fortune now... <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('>

Looks like its hosted at a 'free' webspace site and they dont allow direct hyperlinking to UBB boards.
Others that wont either are Geocities and Tripod.
