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. face 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willswitchengage Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoss Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 On 9/18/2020 at 1:39 AM, keef said: That looks like a nice example with the original cloth interior having been replaced with what looks like vinyl? http://www.drivearchive.co.uk/vehicledetails.asp?CarID=21954 Yes, and all the better for it. The Six was a much better engineered car than the 18/85. Not just the fact it has a nice smooth six cylinder engine, it is fitted better, easy clutch change, where the 18/85 has to have the engine out, the radiator is at the front instead of the side (with a really stupid mounting system), they got rid of the engine mount that kept breaking and the distributor isn't exposed to the elements. Unfortunately all the money they spent developing the engine/drivetrain they clawed back on the interior. All of it. The carpets and headlining were all cheapened with less soundproofing too. Putting an 18/85 interior in a Six gives you the ultimate Crab. Shame they didn't swap the door trims as well but they seem a fairly good match.

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. http://www.rileymotors.co.uk/bmcelf.html there are other Leykor specials, the Riley/Wolseley long tail body with a clubmans nose, and a short tail body with the Wolseleys dinky little grille. no doubt there are others too, such as their clubman GT which had a proper cooper s engine, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
