About this car

The Mk3 Cooper S is the last of the Mini's works-performance line, with the 1275cc engine, disc brakes and the uprated Hydrolastic suspension that gave the S its reputation for handling. This 1971 car is finished in Glacier White with navy trim and a three-dial binnacle with a 130 mph speedometer.

It has had two owners and is described as having a warrantied 42,000 miles, spending its life garaged in Cambridge. It was supplied new through the Marshall Group, and still has the dealer window sticker and leather key fob. A driver's-side quarter window was specified when new, in the manner of the Innocenti Minis.

The history file includes the original Marshall folder, Passport to Service book, handbook, previous V5s and MOT certificates back to 1974. The car is unrestored apart from an older repaint, with original panels, floor pans and sills, and matching commission, body and engine numbers. The interior is original, and a period Formula One steering wheel is fitted, with the original wheel included. It has new Yokohama Advan A-008 tyres, a no-advisory MOT and is MOT and tax exempt.
