1966 Austin Mini Cooper S FIA

-

Originally a 998cc Cooper, a restoratio­n in 2015-16 saw a full-race 1275cc engine slotted into the lightened and strengthen­ed bodshell. Racing suspension was fitted along with a Salisbury Powr-Lok differenti­al, closeratio straight-cut gearbox and Lexan windows. The engine was fitted with components from Nick Swift Tuning, since when the car has run once, at Zandvoort. It comes complete with an FIA Historic technical passport, so it’s eligible for many historic events, including the Goodwood Revival.
