Seller's comments about 1967' Morris Mini
Concours 1967 Mini Cooper S Mk 1 with an exceptional specification and outstanding performance.
The car was purchased in 2015 from specialist The Mini Works. It was tucked away in storage for a long time and has had a no expense spared nut and bolt restoration, carried out by The Mini Works.
Where possible original items where retained and anything not meeting the grade was replaced by better items from Mini Works used stock or renewed. The original head was cracked so a replacement alloy 8 port head with fuel injection was fitted with great care to be close as possible to the original 1968 Vita D Spec Engine with T. J. Fuel injection. The mini has been made to look as far as possible completely period correct.
Documentation - Registered with the M. C. R. the vehicle comes with the Heritage certificate, a collection ofrare brochures and literature, including very rare original BMC Mini RAC embossedHomologation papers with details of Homologated parts for the Arden 8 port head andancillaries. Also present is an original special tuning A4 binder with all Leyland vehicle special tuning options including special tuning for the Cooper S and the 8 port alloy head and some other very nice original items of literature.
Body shell -The body shell was completely stripped and blasted and rebuilt with all new panels whererequired and then painted in its original Almond Green with old English white roof.
