There seems to be a lot of interest in 1071 Cooper S cars these days. I have heard some crazy prices for them recently. What do you expect to pay for a real 1071 S as a project? Does LHD/RHD make any difference? There was one in Fla. that went to Europe and is a super resto now. As I recall it was in very bad shape when loaded in a container and sent off. It would be interesting to know what that project sold for. Steve (CTR)

Give a shout out to mkileg i think he has some genuine 1071 parts for sale. His parts were in an "assumed free" storage somewhere in VA, USA.

Are you looking in the US specifically or are you willing to import if the price is right? Saw a 63 in South Africa a couple weeks ago for cheap... I'll try and find the link.

Yep, I'm in the hunt for a 1071s.
I would prefer any leads be sent to my em or pm. That would be greatly appreciated.
minibitz at optonline.net. use the @ symbol with no spaces. Trying to avoid the spambots.
thanks.
