Description
1971 Morris Mini Cooper S MK III 1275cc. Teal Blue with Snowberry White roof and navy upholstery. UK-supplied, right-hand drive Cooper S. Just 414 miles showing since a total ground-up restoration.
Along with the rest of the Mini range, the Cooper S was launched in Mk2 guise in 1967. Other Minis had dispensed with their marque names but the Cooper S continued to be available in Austin and Morris forms and the 1275 Cooper S actually made it to Mk3 form with concealed door hinges, wind-up windows and Hydrolastic suspension until British Leyland's 3-year agreement with Cooper expired in 1971 and the model disappeared with only 792 UK-market examples of the Mk3 1275S leaving Longbridge. This beautiful UK supplied, right-hand drive Cooper S first registered on 24th August 1971. The Cooper has been subject to a detailed ground-up, nut and bolt restoration to original specification including an engine rebuild by Rob Walker Engineering. It has formed part of a significant private collection of landmark cars and appears to have been stored correctly during this period. Today this Cooper S presents beautifully. The speedometer showing just over 400 miles which is the distance travelled since the complete restoration. In recent years this car has formed part of a large collection and is now ready for its next custodian. Absolutely any inspection welcome. All major debit and credit cards accepted. Part exchange. Finance arranged. Free U. K mainland delivery. Please contact us for any further information. Lots more pictures and a video on our website and Facebook page.
