Vehicle Description
We are proud to offer this 1965 Austin Cooper S finished in Tartan
Red and powered by a 1.3 Liter inline-four cylinder engine, paired
to a 4-speed manual transmission. According to its Certificate from
the British Motor Industry Heritage Trust, This car was assembled
on March 17th, 1965 with in its current configuration bound for
Minneapolis, MN. This particular Mini was then purchased new by a
Des Moines, IA resident where it was driven in Hillclimbs at
Greenwood Roadways between 1965-1968, raced in SCCA events, and was
clocked at 126 MPH at Elkhart Lake. It was sold to its second owner
in 1976 and he returned the car back to street condition, sold
again in 1979 and has been further restored to its current
condition. It has since been restored to its factory conditions
(besides wheels, steering wheel, stone guards, and headlights). It
has been an Iowa car its entire life and is now on the public
market for the very first time. Fun, quick little car to cruise in!
Boasting its original chassis, and engine as described on the
British Motor heritage Trust certificate, this car is a well-kept
and historic version of the famous Mini. Call or email with any
questions! This stunning Mini is ready for new ownership!
