MINI Cooper Mk1 Rally Car

This 1963 Mini Cooper Mk1 began life as a 997cc car and has since been rebuilt to fast-road and rally specification. The engine is now a 1380cc unit built on a 1275 block, with a stage 5 gas-flowed head, Piper cam and twin 1.5in carburettors, and is quoted at 126 bhp. It is paired with a four-speed straight-cut gearbox and a limited-slip differential.

The chassis has been treated to the same level of preparation, with adjustable dampers, a Ripspeed Hi-Lo kit, adjustable arms and tie rods, a quick rack, Cooper S brakes and 10in Minilite wheels. Inside are a roll cage, a works-style dashboard, blue and grey leatherette trim and a set of rally instruments including a Silva compass and trip meters.

It competed in many events through the 1990s, and its best result was first in class and tenth overall in the 1996 Historic Monte Carlo Challenge. It is finished in Smoke Grey and has had eleven owners. No mileage or registration is given on the page.
