hello all, im after abit of help. ive got a mini jiffy van which ive own for a few years now. i had it as a project but have never got round to doing anything with it so i think its time for it to go. so i was wondering what its worth and how rare they are. i would say its about 70% complete and as a mini cooper s engine fitted. if any one could help it would be great many thanks andy.

are these the ones that look a bit like a rascal? pics please:), i would say they are quite a rarity. no idea on what it would be worth though, would be good to see a fast one, alloys, arches, big engine... im off to look on ebay haha.

That needs to be rear wheel drive, now then it would be fun lol

Value god knows to be honest, Not really a desirable variant, best bet would be to put on ebay

how do you tell if its a genuine cooper s engine and what are they worth. sorry about all the questions, its just i dont really know much about it.

i have been told that it was a prototype and as appeared on blue peter. and its got something to do with the juke of Edinburgh award. and it does have a picture of the queens head stamped in to 3 parts of the body.

hope this all makes sense cheers

anyone.

[Bungle]

if its a cooper s engine it will have the tappet chest holes in the back like a 998 engine

and no fuel pump hole.

i wouldnt be suprised if that was out of a austin 1300gt.

that shares many distinguishing features with the cooper s, but they are different, not much but different

those dials certainly are... gt ones

i dont know, but the way those carbs are setup resembles mine significantly


anyway, still an absolutely amazing engine, hard to come by just the same, just maybe not cooper s
