Things like the first Special Edition (The 1976 one with the stripey seats) have virtually disappeared from existence. There's also the early 1275 GT with the factory fitted S pack - not too many of those around now which isn't surprising!

And of course the Heinz 57 Hornet. Drove one once. Can't see a thing out of the back...

How many 970 Cooper 'S's are left? They only made a nominal 1000 off to obtain homologation and it appears that only about 950 were actually completed. There were 4000 1071 'S's so they should be more plentiful.
Apparently there are only 24 Innocenti Cooper 1300 Exports in the UK.
Mokes are getting rare.
There are very few 997 Coopers around.
Those are all mainstream models, but that does not include the special editions which are all getting rare now.
