One of the rarest and most sought-after Mini variants, and highly collectable!
El más raro y codiciado de los Mini, ¡altamente coleccionable!
The more powerful Mini Cooper 'S' appeared in 1963 and quickly established itself as the basis for competition-focused models. Larger disc brakes, more luxurious upholstery and discrete 'S' badges on the bonnet and boot were subtle upgrades with the real changes made to the adaptable A-series engine. With competition in mind, in 1964 Cooper produced two 'S' models specifically for circuit racing in the under 1000cc and under 1300cc classes respectively (rated at 970cc and 1275cc). The road-going 970 'S' was a real 'Homologation Special', specifically produced with the under 1-litre class of the BSCC in mind. Its specialist short-stroke engine produced 65bhp but was expensive to manufacture, so BMC made it a special-order model, and consequently, very few were sold (with even fewer remaining today). The 970 'S' was only produced from June 1964 until April 1965, with just 963 examples supplied, making it one of the rarest and most sought-after Mini models.
