This Mini Cooper has undergone a complete, professional restoration of the body, chassis and drivetrain 2,100 miles ago. The car is now a magnificent, fully-optioned car that is said to be capable of handling its own in a vintage road race or an autocross event. Current mileage shown on the car is 6,712 miles; 4,000 of those indicated miles have been driven by the current third owner, who has owned the cars for 20 years.

Powering this genuine Mini S is a genuine Mini S engine, a 1,275-cc engine with a balanced crankshaft, racing connecting rods, pistons, competition exhaust, Longman racing cylinder head with a matched camshaft for a balance between the street and track to produce over 90-hp. It has a four-speed manual transmission, a 40-mm Weber downdraft carburetor, improved cooling system and a heavy-duty clutch. It sports original Minilite wheels with Yokohama performance tires and a modified suspension.

The interior has a full internal rollcage, competition bucket seats with Simpson racing harnesses, plus the standard three-point seatbelt system for additional comfort.
