Hi guys, I was wondering if anyone knows what year the volcano orange copper was introduced?
I've been looking for one for ages within my budget but the oldest I have found is 98?

cheers for any help

Defo seen a 97 one, but that was the year they were introduced in that colour so you're still going to be looking at £2500 plus for one!

2500 is about my budget so i'l keep looking. cheers for the info dudes!

heh....have I been adorned with the knowledge of models?

Yes the Volcano ORANGE Cooper is a hard to find model - introduced with the original run (before the last edition) of the Cooper Sport. Only 200 produced in this colour as well. The Vanilla Cooper ( i.e. the one without sportspack arches) doesnt appear to have that colour. It was availible from 1997 to 1999 and there's one or 2 that regularly appear at shows. They had the not-often seen stone-grey with coloured piping interior...all in all and oddity worth money.

Theres one on ebay at the moment:

All hail nev!

[nev_payne]

lol...thanks pooky

I should say tho..at £2500 as a budget you will be hard pressed..the cheaper option would be to buy a regular cooper, respray it and add arches and wheels.

You can get the Rover Mini (i.e. non Cooper version post 1996) in Volcano too These sell a bit cheaper than the Coopers
