chris40 ◊ 2007-10-27 15:43	Probably, yes. Certainly later versions and replacements never had the following the original Cooper S's did, although the successes (moral or otherwise!) in the Monte Carlo Rally up to 1967 might have had something to do with it. Indeed, many people (myself included) felt the same way about the bog-standard 850s, wire door-pulls and gear levers like golf clubs notwithstanding; after all, both could easily be replaced (and usually were).
