Vehicle Description
Mini Coopers were all about utilizing a lightweight and compact
base to create a quick and nimble machine. So this specially-built
racer takes that tradition and turns up the fun even more with new
performance motor, upgraded suspension, and better gearbox that's
all ready for the track right now.
When a Mini Cooper showed up to the track, it was like watching
David vs. Goliath. And today people still can't help but root for
the underdog. That's why even your competitors at vintage events
will be happy to see this real-deal Cooper. And while the little
body and vintage Morris badges are absolutely cool, this green and
black car is a serious race machine. That's why you have the
lift-off hood (bonnet), black Minilite wheels, and lightweight
fiberglass doors.
Inside, you're looking at full race-spec package. The small
interior is filled with the full roll cage, leaving room just for
one Kirkey racing seat. You have a RaceQuip six-point harness, fire
extinguisher system, plexiglas widows, pull-off racing steering
wheel, and fuel cell in the trunk. So it has the right features to
conform to many of today's vintage race series regulations. And
while you have the full gauge package, including the important
large AutoMeter tach with shift light, it's great to see the
speedometer on display in the center just like a true classic
Mini.
Another great vintage element is the green block of the A-series
motor... but that's where the factory comparisons end. This stout
1275cc powerplant has been bored out to 1310cc. Classic Motorworks
built the improved 12G940 head, and it now features a Weber 45 DCOE
carburetor. The transmission has been upgraded to a later rod
change four-speed built by Quaife and connected to a KAD short
shifter. And this is a fresh build with less than ten hours on the
package. The suspension is now a fully adjustable package with Gaz
shocks and a limited-slip rear. The brakes are Cooper S 7.5-in
discs in front with Superfin rear drums. And the final piece to
this gripping package is wide American Racer rubber.
This is one heck of a speedy total package, and it even has the
class champion awards to prove it. So if you've been looking for an
affordable, memorable, and nimble vintage racer, this is the
distinct package that's ready to run right now. Call today!!!
