Designed by Alex Issigonis in 1959, a new concept in car design was born. With a monocoque shell, transversely mounted engine and front wheel drive, the new 'Mini', soon became popular across a broad spectrum of the population. The potential for competition use was soon seen by John Cooper; BMC were finally persuaded by John Cooper and the two worked together in culminating the birth of the Austin Mini Cooper and the Morris Mini Cooper in 1961. Victories in the 1964, 1965 and 1967 Monte-Carlo Rallies set the Mini on the road to fame but probably the greatest publicity was gained from their, somewhat unfair, disqualification for lighting irregularities in the 1966 event after coming in 1st, 2nd and 3rd. A more powerful Mini Cooper, dubbed the 'S', was developed in tandem and released in 1963.
This Morris Mini Cooper with a build date in June 1967 was dispatched to Kennings Ltd, Sheffield and registered in July 1967. In 1998 it went to Anchor Autos Bristol where it received a full body and mechanical restoration to 'S' specification with twin tanks and heated screens front and rear. This included the engine being bored to 1340cc and fitted with a 'fast road' camshaft and the gearbox rebuilt with straight cut gears. The suspension and brakes were rebuilt using Cooper S parts. The front seats were replaced with rally bucket seats and rally instruments fitted to the dashboard. We are told that the odometer was zero'd at the time of the restoration, and it has only travelled 9,000 miles since. It was purchased by the vendors husband in November 2005 when the car had covered about 7,000 miles. There is a large history file including old MoTs, invoices for works and a report which details the restoration of 1998 together with a detailed handwritten owner's record of subsequent service works, MoTs and petrol purchases. Finished in Island Blue with Old English White roof with black rally interior, it is supplied with a V5 registration document, an original Mini Drivers Handbook and a Heritage Certificate.
