Description
1964 Austin Mini Cooper S 1071. Almond Green with Old English White Roof and Porcelain Green and Dove Grey trim. Step into automotive history with this exceptional 1964 Austin Mini Cooper S 1071, a rare and highly coveted icon of motorsport heritage. The 1071cc S was BMC’s first Cooper S, and the Mini that conquered the Monte Carlo Rally, securing its place among the legends of international racing. Nicknamed the “Giant Killer,” it redefined what a small car could achieve on both road and track. Originally destined for Car Mart Limited of London, this Mini first graced the roads on 26/ 06/ 1964. Finished in classic Almond Green with an Old English White roof, complemented by Porcelain Green and Dove Grey interior trim, its heritage is fully documented with a Heritage Certificate. Purchased for the prestigious Hamilton Collection, this already striking Mini was taken to an extraordinary level of craftsmanship with a full bare-metal restoration to Concours standard, a meticulous, no expenses spared endeavour. Every detail, from the original 1071 Cooper S engine block with ‘163’ cylinder head to the ventilated Cooper S steel wheels, have been restored to museum quality perfection. The interior remains beautifully preserved capturing the authentic feel of a 1964 BMC showroom.
Designed by Alec Issigonis and tuned for competition by John Cooper, the Mini Cooper S was nothing short of revolutionary. Its combination of size, performance, and affordability established it as a true motorsport legend, paving the way for the 970 S and 1275 S models. Today, Mk1 Cooper S models of this calibre particularly the original 1071 are increasingly rare.
This is more than a car it is a piece of automotive history, fully restored to showroom level perfection, ready to be displayed, driven, and cherished by the next discerning collector.
