This is a 1967 MORRIS MINI COOPER S, MK1 (same as an Austin). One of a kind and Winner of the Personal Choice Award for MK1, 2016! This car has been in my family for over 43 years. It was built in England (I have the British Motor Industry Heritage Trust FRAMED). Built and shipped to a dealership in Germany (LHD for U.S.). sold to a military guy who brought over to the states in the late 60s. My older brother bought it in 1973. I had a total restoration, completely stripped and painted in 2003. Still looks NEW! It is solid and has no rust. The underside looks as good as the outside. The motor and transmission have been completely gone through (2016) less than 7K miles ago by Heritage Garage in Costa Mesa, CA. Ive have maintained by changing out the fluids and tried to use Ethanol free 91+ fuel when ever possible. It is a very dear car to me and I hate to let it go, but have a business venture I want to pursue. Like to see someone enjoy it as much as I have...definitely a head turner and good luck getting away from the gas station or grocery store in a hurry...:) My mission was to make the BEST Cooper S possible with attn. to detail, sparing no expense, using todays upgraded parts, technology and much help from not only my own experience but many others! Too much to mention. Being an older 67 Cooper S (50 years next year!), and the history of this vintage car, Just wanted to do what it takes to do it Right. The car was taken down to bare metal and painted blue/white with white bonnet strips in 2003. The painted white top had a Union Jack Flag decal that I have just removed so NOW THE ROOF IS SOLID WHITE and also, the has painted white strips on bonnet. The rocker panels and floor boards where replaced at that time. The paint is great shape with a few chips from the highway. This Mini has a 1967 Morris Mini Cooper S motor, a 1275 S with a S head. Rebuilt this year by Heritage Garage in Costa Mesa, CA. (Summer 2016). Everyday driver. I have broken down the list below of all items to make it easy to see. I think the list will speak for itself and makes it one of a kind. I have tried to think of everything possible. Thank you for looking and please let me know if you have any questions.
