Description
This Morris Mini Cooper Mark II was dispatched on March 21, 1968. Delivered in Almond Green with a Snowberry White roof and a black interior, exactly the same combination as the car presents today. The first owner registered the car on July 9, 1968. Little is known about the car’s early history, but in December 2003 the car was registered in The Netherlands and came in the hands of a real enthusiast. The last owner carried out a complete restoration over a two year period (2016/2017) at marque specialists Cooperworld and Ben van Leeuwen. The 1275 cc John Cooper engine was completely tuned and equipped with double HS2 carburetors, engine produces over 80 horsepower.
A complete list of all work carried out, including invoices totaling around 30.000 EUR are available in the car’s history file. A short summary:
- Tuned engine
- Rebuilt gearbox
- New cooling system
- Paddy Hopkirk brakeset
- FIA approved roll cage
- New High low suspension kit

After completion the car was never used for what it was intended: a historic car rally. This is your opportunity to buy a very well looked-after car that was built to Mini Cooper S specification including two fueltanks and many improvements. The car is ready to drive its next historic car rally.
