Sadly soon all gas cars will be banned in EU and USA! In France they have a new banning law for ICE cars called SCHLABOUBVE and in Switzerland the HESCHLAVVO law! In Scandinavian countries soon there will be a so called SMORVERBIDEN law. In Germany from 2027 the new BABVVO and TEBBVO laws by the green peoples party will bann all gas cars from public streets only exception will be professional commuter trips and state-certified transports!!!!

I had the exact same model in the late 1960's. It was the same date same colour but RHD. They were within my budget and mine cost £260 as I recall. It was a quick car especially after I rebored it to 1340cc and rebuilt the carbs. Unfortunately it met its end in a field. John

The original 10 inch mini wheels were not perforated. Those you fitted as a try out look like they have a circle of holes around the inner rim. The Coopers always looked fabulous with Minilites.

They are the correct fitment 4.5Jx 10" rims for an early ' S ' in Devon cream .The earlier cars had of course plain 10 "rims.I personally agree with the above comment they just look ' right ' .Minilites are nice but have become a bit of a ' cliche ' after ' The Italian Job ' !.

@@Roger.Coleman1949 Sorry to be pedantic but the Cooper 997's and 998's had plain rims with full wheel trims, the S (first being the 1071) always had vented steels, the ones in the vid are indeed 4.5 but there was a 3.5 version, identifiable as the hub cap on the 3.5's sticks out further than the outer wheel rim. Then there was the over the counter "reverse" rim which was a 5.5 (or maybe 5 ?) deep dished Cooper S steel.
