The supplied British Motor Industry Heritage Certificate with this well presented Morris Mini Cooper shows the factory build was completed on 28th June 1962. This example is an early car having been built within the first twelve months of the Cooper’s production and before the introduction of the Cooper S in 1963. A beautifully simple UK supplied car delivered to Basingstoke with the only factory extra being a fresh air heater.
A ground up restoration was completed in 2024 with the car finished to a good standard with a Newton Commercial interior and appropriate attention to detail including the correct 3.5” wheels with stainless steel Deluxe trims. The only modifications the car sports over it’s factory specification are uprated Cooper S brake discs along with an assisting servo.
The car drives superbly and is ready to hit the road, an early Cooper example to use and enjoy in the upcoming show season.

“The low cost action transport”
- BMC, 1989
A little miracle
Designed in 1959 and heralded as a revolutionary new concept in car design; it would have still been impossible to predict the success of the Mini. A monocoque shell, transversely mounted engine, front wheel drive and a incredibly dinky size; the affectionately named Mini became wildly popular across the world and broke the barriers of class, everyone had to own one!
The potential for competition use was soon seen by John Cooper, a man who needs no introduction. Cooper persuaded BMC to let him work his magic on the Mini and create a ‘hot’ version. The two worked together resulting in the birth of the Austin and Morris Mini Cooper in 1961, with a more powerful Mini Cooper dubbed the 'S', developed in tandem and released in 1963. Victories in rallying, most notably the 1964, 1965 and 1967 Monte-Carlo Rallies shot the Mini Cooper into fame and the rest is history.
