Looking for my old Mk I Cooper Ss + one other unique Mini car - Jeremydup - 10-14-2019
In the 60s and 70s through to 1991 I owned two Cooper Ss and a unique Innocenti Bertone hatchback in Durban and wonder if they are still around. If anyone has any information I would love to hear. Private message preferred.
The first is a 1968 Mk I Austin Cooper S - light powder blue with white roof. It had Australian style wind-down windows and was fitted with 'Rally' mag wheels as the time. I sold it in 1971
The second is a 1968 Mk I Morris Cooper S - originally green with a white roof, but I decided to convert it to Mk II spec in 1972 and paint it Surf blue with a white roof. It also had Australian wind-down windows. It had Cooper S 4 1/2 J wheels. It was fitted with twin Dellorto carburettors. I sold it in 1991.
The third is a 1979 Innocenti 120 Bertone - red with blue interior. Italian body on Mini subframes and 1275 engine. Absolutely unique in South Africa. I sold it in 1991.
See pictures below.
I miss them all and would love to hear if any are still around.

wow, they look really good. most of these cars are hidden away in garages and come out once in a while. will surely keep watch if they surface.
