About this car

The Cooper S is the quick end of the classic Mini range, and this 1971 car is offered as a restored example registered EIA2317. It sits on genuine Minilite wheels, the period fitment most enthusiasts look for.

The dealer says the car had a nut-and-bolt restoration and now looks like new. It has an indicated 44,000 miles. It has spent time in a private collection of mostly high-end cars, kept in a controlled environment. The dealer says it shared that space with John Cooper's personal Cooper S, which had about 1,000 miles from new.

The car is in a Northern Irish collection and can be viewed by appointment. The dealer can also arrange collection and delivery.
