Cooper Classics have listed that car on ebay four times since 12/9/05 and not sold it. The last time was 10/1/08. (If you don't count the scam listing which was pulled by ebay 28/1/08).

not a bad car... I'd buy a FHC instead... I got a S1 FHC myself... the restoration seems correct everywhere.... (blanck soft top cover with red piping????) but I'd go for a "tuned car".... meaning.... alternator..... 5 speed box.... wider wheels..... KENLOWE FAN! THE ENGINE OVERHEATS QUITE QUICKLY.... ?60K IS STILL A PREICE WHERE YOU WOULD GET AN EXCELLENT S1 OTC EVEN IN THE UK... WITHOUT THE HASSLES OF THE SHIPPING...

Hi, It does have the 5 speed box , but not the fan . It interests me for its rareity and colour, He wants 100,000 USD. I love the coupes also but a bonnet latch car is vv hard to come about and almost impossible in the UK..
www.docsjags.com in arizona have car number 115 in Silver/Grey which is available for resteration into gunmetal , the nice thing about this car is its much more original and the dealer has a better reputation in the Jagworld..What do you think of this car?
Thanks for your comments... Any observations would be most welcome from anyone on the forum..Neil Dublin Ireland.
