Highlights
- An extensive restoration in 2016 to an exceptionally high standard
- Very low mileage since restoration
- Original donor car had only covered around 7,500 miles
The Appeal
This exceptional car has been transformed as far as possible into a Cooper S. In 2016 a previous owner carried out an extensive restoration and modification project to create the car we now see today. The brief for the restoration was to create a car that could be comfortably and rapidly driven from the north of England to Vienna in one go and we’d say that brief has been very well met.
With invoices for just about every single part (and there are a lot of them!) and with labour totalling around 1,200 hours we can safely say that this is an exceptional car. The original 1275cc engine has been bored out to 1380cc and fitted with a Swiftune fast road cam, making this little mini an absolutely fantastic car to drive. With an interior befitting of the effort put into the performance side of things this is also an exceptionally comfortable mini that few could rival.
The History and Paperwork
- V5 Present
- MOT until November
- An invoice from 2021 for an extensive check over and service, including oil and filters, a number of new gaskets, new air filter and hose and a number of new dust seals and gaiters
- A comprehensive set of invoices from Mini Sport LTD detailing the new parts used during the restoration
- A selection of other invoices detailing servicing and other work carried out as part of the restoration
The Interior
- Exceptional condition throughout with no signs of wear
- Seats and door cards trimmed in luxuriant Connolly leather with tweed inserts
- Astrali Steering wheel
- Heated front and rear windscreens
Sliding into the deep bucket seat behind the Astrali steering wheel you immediately get a sense that this Mini is something special. The red Connolly leather is complemented by tweed inserts on the seats and doors and the combination looks simply gorgeous.
A modern stereo has been fitted underneath the dash and styled to match the age of the car, but once you hear the engine you won’t want to use it. The seats, dash, headliner, carpet and dials all present beautifully and the level of comfort provided by this Mini is really exceptional.

The Exterior
- MK III shell styled to MK I aesthetics
- Exceptional condition throughout
- Flip down number plate
- Panel fit and gaps are excellent
- Trim, windows, wheels, light lenses, paint and brightwork are all in fantastic condition
- Ten inch Minilite wheels with Dunlop SP tyres
We think the pictures speak for themselves on this one. Finished in red and in exceptional condition throughout this Mini looks fantastic from any angle. With the dual fuel tank fillers, rally light on the rear and flip down number plate you can see just how comprehensive this restomod has been.
The Mechanics
- 1275cc engine bored out to 1380cc
- Ported head with 35.7mm and 30mm valves
- Rimflo valves with bronze guides and modified seats
- Lightweight forged 73.5mm Omega pistons
- Swiftune SW5 cam
- Alloy roller tip rockers
- Balanced crankshaft and rods
- Stock gearbox with new bearings and synchro rings with quick-shift
- Cooper S discs with uprated pads
- Hi-Lo suspension with Gaz shocks
This Mini has covered very few miles since the extensive work carried out in 2016 and as such it is in fantastic mechanical condition, this really is a car that has wanted for nothing. It starts easily, idles smoothly and sounds fantastic.
The owner reports that it drives exactly as it should, which with thanks to the modifications is very well indeed. As can be seen in the images every aspect of this car is finished to a very high standard including both the engine bay and the undersides.

Summary
This Mini Cooper S Evocation represents a no expense spared restoration and modification project that has resulted in this fantastic car. Good looking, fast and supremely comfortable it offers the best of everything in one small but mighty package.

Come funzionano le offerte massime
Il processo di offerta massima ti permette di fare offerte senza preoccupazioni.
Inserisci la tua offerta massima e il sistema farà offerte automaticamente per assicurarsi che tu sia il miglior offerente - fino all'ammontare da te stabilito come tetto massimo.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic contrasta il fenomeno dello “sniping”, ovvero il fenomeno dei rilanci all'ultimo secondo per vincere l'asta.
Se viene fatta un'offerta nei 3 minuti prima della chiusura dell'asta, la scadenza di questa viene automaticamente estesa di 2 minuti per permettere agli altri offerenti di reagire e, se lo desiderano, di rilanciare.
Incrementi di offerta automatica
- Se la sua offerta massima è uguale o inferiore al prezzo di riserva, la sua offerta massima sarà applicata per intero se lei è il miglior offerente.
- Se siete il miglior offerente e fate un'offerta massima superiore a quella di riserva, la riserva verrà automaticamente inserita come prima offerta.
-
- Una volta raggiunta la riserva, Car & Classic si assicurerà che tu sia il miglior offerente utilizzando solo gli incrementi di offerta indicati di seguito.
- Vi terremo in testa fino alla vostra offerta massima O all'incremento più vicino alla vostra offerta massima, a condizione che la vostra offerta massima sia sufficiente a coprire il valore dell'incremento.
| Ammontare dell'offerta | Incremento |
|---|---|
| Da £0 a £9,999 | £100.00 |
| Da £10,000 a £49,999 | £250.00 |
| Da £50,000 a £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
Superamento immediato dell'offerta
Quando piazzi un'offerta massima e questa viene immediatamente superata, questo significa che un altro offerente ha impostato una soglia di offerta massima superiore alla tua.
Puoi fare nuovamente un'offerta o impostare una soglia più alta di offerta massima e il nostro sistema rilancerà fino alla nuova soglia, cercando di portarti a essere il miglior offerente.
Offerte massime di pari ammontare
Quando ci sono due offerte massime di pari ammontare, quella impostata per prima è quella che viene considerata “migliore offerta”.
Pre-autorizzazione
Potremmo trattenere un piccolo importo di pre-autorizzazione sulla tua carta fino alla fine dell'asta, quando quest'ultimo verrà poi stornato. Se vinci, verrà prelevata una caparra che verrà detratta dal pagamento del prezzo di vendita per il veicolo e non comporta costi aggiuntivi per te.
Cosa sono le Offerte pre-asta?
Offerte pre-asta significa che avete la possibilità di fare offerte prima dell'inizio ufficiale dell'asta.
Verrà comunicato se si è il miglior offerente o meno all'inizio dell'asta.
Problema con l'offerta
Le offerte sono contrattualmente vincolanti. Per tutelare l'utente, sono previste alcune regole nel caso in cui si ritenga che sia stato digitato in modo errato. Si prega di controllare e modificare quanto inserito.
