The Mini Cooper of the 1960’s is fondly remembered as not so much a luxury form of transport, but a diabolical little road burner with a willing heart, which could be thrown about with absolute abandonment to the positive delight, perhaps, of your companions. The later S versions were quicker still and performed well on road and indeed on the track, where they mixed it with much larger and more powerful Jaguars and Mustangs etc. There was no class barrier to the Mini. You could take it to The Savoy Grill or the Ace Café.
This very smart Mini has had just four owners from new. The previous female custodian purchased the motor car in 2007 locally in south Somerset. Whilst the original upholstery required only a good clean, the bodywork was less than perfect due to the dreaded tin worm and so a total restoration commenced. In 2011, a new British Motor Heritage body shell, complete with doors, bonnet and boot lid, was fitted and finished in the original colours of British Racing Green metallic with a white roof, mirrors, coachline and decals. Due to the fact that the Mini had been laid up for almost ten years, all ancillaries were replaced with B. M Heritage parts, including the front and rear subframes, radius arm pins on the rear suspension, ball joints, track rod ends, the steering rack, subframe mountings and shock absorbers. The motor car was also equipped with an adjustable ‘Hi-Lo’ suspension.
A great deal of attention was given to the mechanics of the motor car, with a new wiring loom, clutch assembly, braking system and all new pipes and hoses fitted. The interior was refurbished with a new headlining and carpets, whilst the aforesaid original Racing Crayons upholstery and trims were scrupulously scrubbed! The Mini sits on the correct alloys and tyres, the spare wheel is steel and the special exhaust system consists of an LCB manifold with an RC40 tail system.
The current custodian purchased H15 MYN from DVCA in 2018. During its four years spent in Devon, the Mini has undergone further extensive rebuilding and upgrading, again to a very high standard. Amongst other work, the engine and gearbox have been rebuilt by Devon Racing (this has included a twenty thou overbore with the fitting of new high compression pistons, and a Kent fast road cam; the cylinder head has been reworked , polished and ported with big valves and bronze guides etc; the timing chain has been upgraded with a sport duplex set and roller rockers: ARP race studs have been fitted to the cylinder head). Also, the Mini is equipped with an upgraded water pump, an alloy radiator, a new petrol tank, Superfin alloy brake drums to the rear, refurbished wheels and new tyres, new rear shock absorbers, a sump guard, mainly LED lights, a new alternator and a new battery. Waxoyl was applied to the underside last year.
Cosmetically, the vendor describes the Mini as being very good, we are told that the interior is smart with some slight staining to upholstery, and the paintwork remains good, with only a few stone chips.
The Cooper is supplied with its special registration number H15 MYN, together with a large and comprehensive history file which contains a handbook signed by John Cooper, the original handbooks and wallet, Mini Cooper Register information, newspaper cuttings, numerous invoices from previous and present ownerships, details on all of the improvements made by the current owner, a sales invoice from Vincents of Yeovil for the second owner, old MOT test certificates, road tax discs, the V5 document, the V5C registration certificate and its replacement. Also included in the sale are a number of spare parts.
What an exciting opportunity then to purchase a truly superb and special Mini.
