The new listing that took its' place seems more absurd than the old listing

auction ending.. how can you tell what a closed auction closed at

KD.. maybe be a state vin number for montana?? side marker lights make it at least a 1984... later bc

The question is how did it get registered in the first place?
The pedals are the 1977+ bigger models.
Contact the seller... option is always there ...

jim too funny.. maybe vin number off john deere tractor?? ignore the TROLL .. spank. later bc

This auction is almost over found this addition interesting on the ebay listing:

*We are unsure of the correct year, this is a special case*

weird vin #??????? MMBD01/16123 what is that ???? later bc

Come on kids, play nice! Regardless of whether it's fan is on correct or backwards, the car is definitely not a 1974. Glad it's not mine living in the great state of California. Especially with the vanity plate that is easily recognizable and now out there for "The Man" to see. All things considered though, it ain't worth 24 large regardless of what year vehicle it is. JMHO!

yea.. ok I missed the carb . it is awful dark photo. and I did not look that close. what a weird vin number??. starting today I WILL ignore any posts from Spank... later bc

84 through 91 car and way overpriced.

This guy can't tell the truth to save his life. Either that, or he's both stoned AND stupic...  Can't recognize a backwards fan or an upside down brake caliper and now we can add SU Carburetor to that list. Lord help anyone who needs to rely on little willy billy for anything

Original listing can be seen by typing in 1974 classic Mini and clicking "completed Items"

It had an SU carb all along...

bluedragon.. the original engine photo had SPI air cleaner.. ..later bc

SPi? Isn't that a SU carburetor peeking out from the middle of the round air cleaner? The SPi's have a large oval waffle-ribbed plastic air cleaner (which was reused for the MPi's as well.) Or does it appear to be a SPi converted to a carburetor?

maybe somebody is feeding the lister the wording.. not sure who gave him this though
Mini Classic Mini Coupe

seems all mixed up wording

miniblitz. eagle eye with that observation of the change in listing.. good catch!

Apparently it's a MK3 Cooper S now......I don't think so.

US legality aside it doesn't look like too bad a car.

seller relisted it.. here is new listing

hey Bill, maybe they read your comments.. the link now says listing no longer available. 

side marker lights and SPI.. sure not a 1974.. and dash is give away..

how could you tell it is a re-vin..
