If, and that’s a big if, everything is there, and his story is fairly accurate, would any of you take this on?

I mean, it’s $800.

Cooper is not an R53. No supercharger, 5sp manual (not 6). Simpler, a little lighter, possibly more reliable, but the power is not there. They have been called justacoopers. Sound familiar?
