I never card about originality. I always cared about condition. The best 'Cooper S' I had was a 1961 English 850 Deluxe body with a Turbo charged 1330 aircraft engineered race motor with Quaife LSD, and a 5spd g'box back in the mid 80's. Full Spax adjustable suspension and rose jointed front end, running on genuine Mini Lites. This was a registered road car (NH283!) with a Webasto sunroof and an alloy roll cage, but with all new original upholstery interior, Westminster carpets, burr walnut dash and momo steering wheel. It had the triple driving lights. It went hard, cornered amazingly and looked 'pretty'. I can't imagine what that thing would be worth today.

Could it be daily driven?

Hi Tim. You did a wonderful video. I started working with Miles on his cars in 1968 while still at school and helped tow them till 2019. We got 150 cars to his land above Bathurst by 1974. He was a busy boy ! Most of those cars were sold to buy his first real estate business.

silver and gold, beautiful pair

Lovely car, such a shame its driven here by a complete knob.

Your channel is becoming my go-to for barn find stories.23:57 Fantastic!

I'm glad there wasn't a part two to this video, because your bumper design looks like shit.

"Often called the Mini Clubman" That's because it's a mini clubman not not a "Square front Mini"

I'm proud to say the 1965 studebakers were built in Canada Hamilton Ontario to be precise

are these cars for sale??

Great review! 👍

nice story but can also be a cover for hoarding too

I met Miles in the 70s when he had his collection stored in a shed at Box Ridge. He had quite collection of Studebakers at the time. He bought our old Land Rover Series 1 and a couple of Austin A50s. A true gentleman who helped my family in a difficult time. Sorry to hear he passed.

I still have my XE ESP and its NOT for sale

What's with calling it the hood and the trunk? This is Australia mate! Bonnet and boot.

Being a coupe it has flip glass, hardtops have a wind down glass. This car will come up a treat when finished.

Where is part two please?

My mates mother had an Aussie imported Mini K, we live in NZ. I've never seen another like it. The paint was called Calypso red or orange. Can anyone out there confirm they made a K model? It was nothing flash with the slider windows etc and had the 998 engine but it was as quick as her later model clubman she traded for the K.

except ours was cream coloured

The car I grew up in

Lost family member , re-united , great to hear/see , you have a good heart , & plenty of karma for the other projects , what comes around goes around

No one mentions the drains from the rear corners of the trunk lid area. I designed these drains and it has always been an achievement.

What a fantastic video, having the old dear seeing it again at the end was so heart warming.

I think he means boot, not trunk.

not all hong kong Taxis are Red BTW some are green and blue

I have one just like this. Its a blast to drive and gets looks every where i go

Very nice ❤❤❤❤

I want one! Man of culture

I had one of these, my dad without my permission re sprayed it and put a rover engine in it. Mine was in immaculate condition. I’ve never forgiven him for that.

Go Charger!

Love that a fellow Aussie is reviewing these.

日本のタクシーとたいてい同じですね

Thanx for that video!😄 Great cars!I‘ll subscribe!👍🏼

I'm stressed just thinking about the attic....glws

You don’t see many of the old minis on the road but I did see a British racing green with a white top cooper s parked in Keller street kings cross

THEY ARE REALLY TREASURES AND A WONDERFUL LEGACY TO LEAVE YOU; I TRUST NOW TO YOU! I HOPE TO LEAVE A LEGACY TO MY CHILDREN THAT IS AS AWESOME!

Ya got a BIG TREASURE YOUNG MAN. I LIVE IN ALBERTA CANADA.THIS TREASURE IS A GREAT LEGACY; I pray for Wisdom for you. Don't feel pressured into quick sales of your TREASURES PLEASE.

The wierd woodeen thing with the metal roller at the foot of the stairs of your bus is a edison cylinder plsyer.a early record player.

You did not cover the transmission.....very unique vehicle and with that Chevy 283 must have had nice performance....

One by one

Your father was a eccentric person

On the double decker bus step @ 19:20 I believe is a Cylinder Record Player. It looks like it is missing its "reproducer" which would track with the arm along the bar as the record rotated on the spinning cylinder. It is probably early 1900s to the mid 1910s, by then flat disc record players had taken over. There should be a spot for a crank, and they came with lids. FYI. It looks like it's in good shape, albeit dusty. 33:45 could be the horn for the Cylinder or another record player. 34:00 You are holding a Cylinder record in its case!! (The records needed them as they are quite fragile). Cheers, Jon

Your dad was amazing collecter, saved so many cars, so sorry you lost him...

I am so glad to see that this is a genuine collection. Not just a barn full of yank tanks.

Your Father was is a Hoarder or a Collector ? a lot project are not done, few cars are a runner, what a collection , ye buy and park it, i have 2 usa cars and both a driving with M.O.T good luck with the sale.

You talking on 45,00 min about the 220S Mercedes and you say it is a 4 cilinder injection , wrong it is a 6 cilinder 2195 CC 120 HP and was build from 1961 to 1965 , and not from 1935 what i read, good video...

The correct model number is 300d. It is specifically a lower case "d". These days an upper case "D" would indicate a Diesel-powered car which this car is not.

On both cadalics thanks

What would you have on the cadalic thanks

I met your father only a little while ago he was a very genuine person it was a pleasure talking to him and he enjoyed showing me through his collection he will be missed ❤ when i came over to help repair one of the cars that my father inlaw had there to work on and your father was trying to buy my 1972 w108 v8 mercedes which i drove up on the day he could not help himself 😊 he definatly loved his cars ❤❤
