Description
Genuine 1968 Morris Mini Cooper S Mk2 (1275 cc engine). A rare model, with only 3, 642 units produced. This is a full restoration project started from a base of exceptional quality. Genuine V5C logbook and Matching Numbers (chassis / engine / gearbox). The car is sold complete, not 'race-modified', and strictly original. Bodyshell & Chassis: • Shell entirely sound, no corrosion. • Bodywork repairs already fully completed to a professional standard (floor pans replaced). • Car currently in primer, ready for paint. Mechanical: • Original 1275 S engine removed. • Fully stripped, inspected and rebuilt. Ready to be refitted. Equipment & Parts Included: • Fitted with its two original, S-specific fuel tanks. • All new parts required for complete reassembly have already been purchased and are supplied with the car (fasteners, seals, trim items, etc. – invoices available). • All S-specific items (dashboard, instruments, etc.) are present. Ideal project for an enthusiast or professional looking to finish a genuinely original Cooper S with clear, traceable paperwork. • The new parts lot included: buying the brightwork, seals, and S-specific braking or suspension components represents a considerable outlay. For the buyer, this means immediate time and money saved, provided the parts come from reputable suppliers (Minispares). • The original twin fuel tanks: this period-correct aesthetic and technical feature of Cooper S models visually confirms the authenticity of the shell and avoids having to source an original straight tank, which has become very rare and expensive in used condition. • Estimated price between 26, 000 and 31, 000 euros; the genuine Matching Numbers logbook (+ 4, 000 to 5, 000 euros): this is the absolute key for a Cooper S. The market suffers from many replicas built on standard Mini logbooks; the administrative and physical authenticity of your original chassis/ engine guarantees the buyer that the car will be worth over 40, 000 to 50, 000 euros once finished. Full photo file of the bodywork repairs available on request. First contact by message or phone. Tyre-kickers and frivolous offers need not apply.
