Seller's comments about 1965' MINI Classic

1965 Mini with many Special Tuning specifications from BMC. Rally suspension. The chassis is zinc-treated. Magnesium Minilight rims of 12x5. 5 inches. FIA roll bar. Paddy Hopkirk chairs. Aluminum rally bottom pan protector. And much more.95% of the parts on the car are from the 1960s. The car is registered as Cooper S.The engine has an 8-port aluminum cylinder head from Jim Whitehouse with Weber carburetors. This engine has been overhauled by my friend Steve Harris in England. As a former Downtown employee and friend of Jim Whitehouse whom I also knew well, he was particularly interested in this engine and wanted me to send it to him.This is an engine that would cost GBP. 11. 000 to build today if you were lucky enough to get hold of the same engine parts. I used over 2 years restoring the car and the same amount of workhours on building this engine as I would building a race engine.See miniss. com and get in touch for further information.
