This provides an excellent and importantly sound foundation for restoration, avoiding the extensive metalwork often associated with projects of this nature.Included within the sale is a fully reconditioned 1275cc Mini Cooper S engine with its twin carbs, together with a new subframe ready for fitting, existing subframe components, front disc brakes, bonnet, doors and a comprehensive collection of associated parts. The car is further enhanced by the inclusion of its interior trim, seats and dashboard, making this a largely complete package, estimated to be over 90% + complete and providing a substantial head start towards returning this iconic Mini to the road.The Morris Mini Cooper S remains one of the most revered derivatives of the classic Mini lineage, celebrated for its outstanding competition heritage, including its famous international rally successes, and its engaging performance and character on the road.Whether undertaken as a concours-quality restoration, a sympathetic historic rebuild, or an investment-led project, this offering represents a rare opportunity to acquire the principal components of a genuine Morris Mini Cooper S together with many of the key parts required to complete the journey.With correctly restored Cooper S models continuing to command strong interest and values, opportunities to acquire original, documented projects of this calibre are becoming increasingly difficult to find.Altogether, this represents a highly appealing proposition for the marque enthusiast or specialist builder, combining rarity, provenance, completeness and the enduring appeal of one of Britain’s most iconic sporting cars.This vehicle is located near Rugby, Warwickshire, CV21 from where it will need to be collected.Motorscan report and videos available on request.Viewing is by appointment, please contact the office to arrange.
