Description
Historic rallying and road touring has become very popular in recent years and whilst this car might not be a all-out stage rally car, it is certainly on the way to being one and is best suited for regularity rallying and long distance road tours and adventures. Or maybe just a blast down to the local pub…
Built in 1966, this Austin Mini Cooper S Mk1 is a genuine original Mini Cooper S and has been in the same ownership since 2002 and has been all over Europe with great success. Benefitting from a recent service from Bill Rawles Classic Cars the car is direct and precise on the road and puts a big smile on your face as you open up the revvy A series engine.
