Welcome to Restoration-Mini!!
Justin,Great for Jeff and you too, as the aggressive bidding proves you guys made great decisions on rehabbing that Mini. It makes me feel good too because if you recall, my scruffy loaner hydro pump gave it life:) Now Craig owns the well-travelled pump for his dad's S, so what goes around comes around.Good luck to Jeff and you too. Let's see that thing go to $80K:)CW in TX
Quote from: BruceK on February 08, 2019, 12:53:21 PMThat red Cooper S, with A LOT of discussion about what wasn't 'right' with it, sold for $21,300 on BaT. Now there is another Mk. I Cooper S, unrestored, and nobody is faulting it for being non-original. As things look now, this car is going to sell for BIG money. Like north of $40K is my guess. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1966-austin-mini-cooper-s-5/Geez, it's up to $30K already with 5 days still left in the auction. And as more bids come in this will really get rolling I think. This could set a new BaT record for a Mini.

Someone has been slacking off here. I blame me. A BaT auction for a Mk. I Cooper S racecar has just ended with Reserve Not Met https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1967-austin-mini-cooper-s-8/
skylerskyler 60 Hi MiniGuy – I was studying my competition for this thing, and looked up your profile. After doing so, I’m rooting for you to win this auction… after being a member of BaT for 12+ years, and having bid on 113 lots with zero (0) auctions won…it’s about time!!! Let’s go, boy!
