Hah, I was looking at that LDV as I'm in the market for something that size, I don't think I have ever seen woodchip wallpaper inside a camper before.  I cannot work out for the life of me what's going on with the side door either, the original sliding door is still partially there and someone's stuffed a caravan door over the top...LDVs seem to suffer from more eccentric conversion antics than any other van type.  

That's Anaglypta, not woodchip; much posher. Dole pole for added levels of authentic misery.

IF this is a genuine Cooper S, then it could be described as a"bargain" especially  as Mathewsons sold one so bad it was cling wrapped onto a pallet to stop it falling apart for £20k not that long ago....

i mean, this one you can actually"open" one of the doors without it coming off in your hands!

Obvious non-Cooper S is obvious; does anyone actually fall for this shit in the age of the tinterwebs?

Maybe not that oddball, as I'm sure something similar was sold in Britain, badged as a Riley.

Riley elf and Wolsey hornet.  

The difference is that SA import has the extra boot, but not the Vandom plas look front end.

A bloke I worked with had a Riley Elf, with a glass fibre clubman flip front and some sort of Honda engine.  And a full roll cage.  I never took a photo. Stupid mistake.

I’m afraid I’m not very clued up on Minis, the only things I can think might be pointers are that it only seems to have one carb and no servo, also only one tank. But these things could be options or me trying to be clever. 
What are the obvious pointers on this one?  The provenance sounds good but I suppose it could have been rebuilt and reshelled numerous times , even in the ownership of 2 or 3 people. I know of an RS2000 with only 2 owners from new that’s a ringer and has been for nigh on 40 years now.

Wasn't sure which thread to post this in, so it's going here... 

Wouldn’t you take the cardboard off to sell them? Also looks like my joke fell on deaf ears. I thought I was the autistic one...

I could be completely RONG and just blagging it; I read once that Cooper esses all had twin tanks, so it must be true. It wasn't on the internet either so I might have just dreamed it. I have clung to this pub fact about Cooper esses for 20+ years, just like Princess Anne's Scimitars.

Both that white spaceship Corolla and red spaceship 25 were for sale a few months ago. Looks like their new owners didn't like them? The Toyota was at some silly price of something like 3000 euros originally.

I really struggling to have any interest in that? My brain says I should love it but heart just doesn't get going at all and I just don't know why?
