1964 | Austin Mini Cooper S 1275

The Mini, the pop icon of the sixties. After the T-Ford, this classic car is the most influential car of the 20th century, and therefore a true classic. Apart from the fact that emaciated rock-heroes stepped out of the car in the sixties, the Mini did extremely well in rallying. A mini can have both. The elan of rallying, with the looks of the sixties street scene. Together with TopHat, this Mini has been made into a cute Almond Green monster, or say a bullet.

This original Dutch car was bought a few years back as a project, and then underwent the full monty. I would like to tell you what has been done to make this by far the coolest Mini in the world. At TopHat classics, the car was completely stripped, and restored as William Morris had conceived it. Then smeared with industrial KTL coating against rust further done by a restorer from Aston Martin. After this, this seemingly cuddly Mini had 150PK injected with a 1275cc rally block.

All the bills are there, and the car is ready for loads of fun. With webers, rally seats and a rebuilt diff, you can start a road rage with every BMW-loser that looks down on you at the traffic lights.
Are you ready for rally, sweat and laughter?

Mini, not BMW’s lapdog.
