Austin Mini Cooper S 1275

The Mk1 Cooper S is the Mini at its most celebrated, a 1275cc four-speed car that won rallies and still feels quick for its size. This 1967 example is finished in Tartan Red with a black roof, with red and gold vinyl seats and a period Webasto sunroof. Other period-style extras include a twin fuel tank, a rear Lucas spotlight, a fresh air heater and an oil cooler.

The page says it has had five owners, though the dealer's text refers to four from new. The last keeper owned it for 40 years and stored it in a purpose-built humidity-controlled box. The 106,282 miles are backed by MOT history from 1982, the original buff logbook and period photographs.

The dealer has carried out a sympathetic restoration. The hydrolastic suspension was overhauled, which meant removing both subframes. These proved to be original and were stripped and powder coated, and the engine bay was restored. The bumpers, overriders and nudge bars were re-chromed, and the cylinder head gasket was replaced. The engine had been rebuilt some years ago, and leak-down and compression checks were healthy.
