Vehicle Description
Motorcar Studio is pleased to offer this incredibly original Mk I
1963 Austin Mini Cooper. This Mini was manufactured in October of
1962 and originally delivered to Houston, Texas. We believe that it
spent many years in the dry Southwest with old registrations
placing it in Arizona and New Mexico before moving to Alabama where
it was acquired by the current owner 12 years ago.
Remarkably, it retains its original paint with the exception of the
roof which was repainted under current ownership. Body panels are
original, straight and corrosion-free, including the early
four-vent sills, and all body numbers are intact. The interior is
also mostly original including carpet and door cards; seats were
recently reupholstered in correct materials. A Clarion AM radio was
installed in period, and the early chrome sliding window catches
are still present.
Power comes from a numbers-matching 997cc four cylinder with dual
carbs mated to a four-speed manual transmission. S-stamped Dunlop
4.5-inch wheels are wearing newer Dunlop Aquajets. This Mini has
been lovingly maintained and runs and drives great. Accompanied by
a Heritage Trust certificate. A true survivor with an amazing
patina and a great history.
