Ok so now i know i've bitten off mort than i can chew!!! Might sell the green one. I know a guy selling an 87 cooper with no interior, no bootlid, one headlight and a couple of other small bits and pieces missing. Any idea what kinda money i should expect to pay for an 87 cooper? engine and gearbox fine and its running... so he told me. :?: :?:

Never was an 1987 Cooper Ken.
So unless it's a 'Cooper lookalike' maybe.
