Description
For sale is this 1967 Morris Mini Cooper S Works rally car recreation. This recreation is closely based on the Works Mini LBL 6D, and is based off an Austin Cooper S shell.
The car is built to group 2 and Monte Carlo Appendix J regulations.
The car is run on a Bill Richards Racing 1293cc engine which was rebuilt to works rally specs by Bill Richards Racing. Running twin 1. 5" SU carburettors, the engine has less than 1000 miles on it post rebuild, and is running also on a Bill Richards Racing four-speed quaife gearbox. It currently has a more usable 3. 6:1 final drive installed, covered in the accompanying booklet.
The subframe is strengthened around the subframe mounting points and around the handbrake, plus the car has hydrolastic suspension fitted.
The wiring loom took over 160 hours to colour code correctly, and also using the right grade and terminals. The heated screen is a replacement sadly as the original cracked, and it is controlled by the rare and correct Tok switch.
The car is equipped with the original 3 point John Alley roll cage, with hand stitched padding, knuckle pad, and original Irvin seat belts. It also includes the original rare car jack mounted behind the drivers seat.
This car is period correct and and identical recreation with some very rare and wonderful parts.
