You could try FIGJAM. He owned it in 2005. Here are a few posts where he mentions it. viewtopic.php?f=3&t=9151 viewtopic.php?f=2&t=6167&p=78792 It also had an extra chassis plate attached - number was NREPSD465 |

The RTA put one on in 4/2000 but it was NREPS0465Y766. |

It should still send a notification to his linked personal email address. But the logging in and remembering his password may be an issue |

I have sent an email to the address he used at that time. Will see what happens. |

I think that's my dad's car - red over indigo blue monotone, did have a dodgy looking RTA plate stamped like that on it but now registered with proper numbers in Vic edit: probably an ex-police car |

If it's been recovered with vinyl you may be able to feel them from the back. Also, lowered front seats and possibly reversing lights might be present so would be worth checking. |

That's the only "hard" evidence, hence why I say "probably" The seats aren't original, it came with an aftermarket drivers seat (now in my car) and I'm not sure what it had for a passenger seat. Other (weak-ish) evidence is that it's a monotone colour, I gather the assumption is that the cops wanted them to look like standard minis so didn't option white roofs |

I'm not aware of any unmarked Cooper S supplied to NSW Police that was duotone, so being monotone is further supporting proof. Check for sump guard holes (three across the front of the subframe and two each side near the drive shaft holes). Also three holes each side at the top of the front seams for the mesh windscreen, and holes in the driver's side flitch panel below the brake booster for a siren, and maybe holes for a siren switch near the driver. I would like to know about the reversing lights wiring. What colour and trace wire, and what type of connector at the lights was used? Does it appear to be part of the body loom wrapped in black tape or separate? I have a factory drawing for reversing lights on Mark 1 cars that I'm keen to verify. |
