Description
Sten Norberg in Bjärnum has successfully run a car sales and dismantling business for many years. During this time, he has collected several fine cars that have been in good original condition or in need of restoration. As the collection now needs to be downsized due to space constraints, he has chosen to sell some of his gems.
This car joined the collection in 1981 and was restored with a new paint job in its original color, along with service. His wife drove the car for a few years, and then it was stored in the collection.

Facts about the model
They were manufactured under the BMC umbrella with the names Austin and Morris, as well as the luxury versions Wolseley and Riley. It was called "badge engineering" because they mainly just changed badges and grilles. The first "hundkojan" or Mini, as it was called in the rest of the world, was introduced in 1959. It was revolutionary thanks to its clever and space-saving design, for which Alec Issigonis was responsible. Issigonis' idea was to create a simple and affordable car with good driving characteristics, and that's exactly what he achieved. One person who truly appreciated the car was John Cooper, who at the time ran a racing team with Formula cars in the top league. He used BMC engines in his cars and knew their potential. An idea was born. John Cooper contacted Alec Issigonis, who was not at all interested in having a more powerful engine in his beloved Mini. He believed it was a car for the people, not a racing machine like John Cooper wanted it to be.
In 1961, John Cooper finally got what he wanted, and an enlarged, 997cc (57 hp) variant of the original 850 (37 hp) engine was developed. The new Mini Cooper was born. The Cooper had a different upholstery and disc brakes. They also had a contrasting color for the roof. A sportier variant was introduced in 1963 and was produced in limited numbers. It was the Cooper S 1071cc, which also had larger and more powerful disc brakes. In 1964, a lot happened. Three new engine variants were developed: the Cooper S 1275cc, 970cc, and a more civilized 998cc engine for the regular Cooper. The reason for developing so many engine variants was the different class divisions based on engine displacement used in car racing. There were classes for cars up to 850cc, 1000cc, 1150cc, and 1300cc. So, there was a Mini for every class.
