A 1971 British Leyland Austin Mini Cooper 1275 S MkIII, registration number BHH 301J, chassis number XAD1412858A, *** engine number 12H37910000. Manufactured between March 1970 and June 1971, this MkIII Cooper S is one of the rarest of all Cooper derivatives, with only 1570 being manufactured. In line with other MkIII the body was revised with concealed door hinges, larger rear lights and new front grille. This matching numbers Cooper is finished in a very rare colour of Teal blue. The interior is finished in black vinyl and is fitted with period extras including Moto-Lite leather trimmed steering wheel, Webasto full length sunroof and Wipac spot lamps and covers. Original 4. 5 reverse rims are fitted with new tyres. The suspension has been changed to high lows to improve the ride and handling, the dynamo has also been upgraded to an alternator. This original right hand drive home market car was originally registered in London and was exported to Texas by an oil worker who had used the car in London before emigrating back to the States. Having been used for some time in the United States, the car went into storage and was subsequently restored, hence only 2 previous owners.
