Hello all I am new here

Bought a cooper s last week and love it already

So far the spark plug, high tension leads thermostat and housing, Oil, attempt at oil filer, coolant, removed the heater due to dead core(may be replaced), seat belts, new battery, new earth lead and pain in the neck by pass hose

I have been working on it every night since buying so I thought I'd put a bit of a video blog on it

Welcome. She looks very nice.
It is on the register as Indigo Blue only. Does the ID plate have the roof as white or was the roof painted at a later date?

Just ran out and had a look it was painted afterwards. The car has had a paint job and by the looks of it it might be an EX police car.
That what makes these things so great the years that go by and different owners give them charactor

Keep that heater they're getting rare. Mine was difficult to find.

I'll be keeping the heater just need to buy a new core. Just a few other jobs that need money prior to that one.

I see they have converted the suspension from wet to dry.

Great looking car there oldblade. Looks like one you can do a bit of work on whilst still enjoying it to drive.

What are the giveaways that it might be ex-Police?

The only real thing so far is the holes for the visor
