Zustand technisch
A lively 1275 engine with strong response. Pleasant sound, and the gearbox, clutch, brakes, and chassis all feel as they should. The throttle cable housing has been resting against the exhaust manifold, causing the throttle action to stick slightly and creating a somewhat abrupt on/off feel under acceleration. The owner hopes to replace both the cable and housing before delivery. The engine was built by JANA Motors AB, with receipts and specifications included in the documentation binder.
-
Zustand Interieur
Original interior in an attractively patinated condition, featuring the characteristic Red and Gold/Grey fabric with small golden details woven into the grey pattern. Nice headliner with some discoloration around the edges. The interior light is missing — wiring and power are in place, but the fixture itself is absent.
-
Zustand Exterieur
Presentable paintwork, gently worn in and used since the restoration was completed in 2008. BJ Motor carried out the bodywork, and Alingsås Billackering did the paint job. In the photos, the car is fitted with a grille from a more modest sibling model, an Austin 850. The owner was incorrectly advised by someone who claimed it was the correct grille. However, the correct grille is now fitted (see photo). Older Dunlop Aquajet tires from 2005 with good tread depth.

Zustand gesamt
A charming Cooper S in sensible, user-friendly condition. The long-term ownership by the restorer and current owner provides a strong foundation of knowledge and familiarity with the auction car.

Fakten zum Modell
The first “Hundkojan” — or Mini, as it was known in the rest of the world — was introduced in 1959. It was revolutionary thanks to its clever, space-saving design created by Alec Issigonis. His vision was to build a simple and affordable car with excellent road manners. That is exactly what it became.
One person who truly appreciated the car was John Cooper, who at the time ran a top-level Formula racing team. He already used BMC engines in his race cars and understood their potential. An idea was born. Cooper approached Alec Issigonis, who was not at all interested in fitting a more powerful engine into his beloved Mini. He regarded it as a car for the people, not as the competition machine John Cooper envisioned.
In 1961, however, John Cooper finally got his way, and an enlarged 997 cc (57 hp) version of the original 850 cc (37 hp) engine was developed. The new Mini Cooper was born. It featured distinctive upholstery, front disc brakes, and a contrasting roof color.
An even hotter version was introduced in 1963 and produced in a shorter run: the Cooper S 1071 cc, which also received larger and more powerful disc brakes.
A great deal happened in 1964. Three new engine variants were introduced: the Cooper S 1275 cc and 970 cc, along with a more civilized 998 cc engine for the standard Cooper road car. The reason for producing so many engine variants was the class structure used in motorsport, where competition categories were based on engine displacement. There were classes for cars up to 850 cc, 1000 cc, 1150 cc, and 1300 cc — meaning there was effectively a Mini built for every class.
