SUMMARY
Fabulous 1965 Mini Cooper 1071S in Tartan Red and black, fully restored and totally authentic.
DESCRIPTION
- Primarily intended for competition use, the 1071S is probably the best driving of all the 'S' derivatives
- More tractable than the 1275 and 970S, partially due to its Formula Junior race unit developed by Morris Engines
- Originally supplied with an oil cooler, 4.5" wheels and 3.44:1 final drive, they really were impressive and still amaze today
- This example was despatched to The Morris Garage Ltd of Oxford and subsequently issued with a Suffolk registration on 01/01/1965 according to its BMIHT Certificate.
- The car was subject to an exacting restoration in the past and still presents beautifully. At some point the colour was changed from Tweed Grey to Tartan Red, probably in the early 1970s, according to its photocopied continuation logbook
- Very nicely detailed and still fitted with its 1964-dated wiper motor, original Cooper air-filters, Paddy Hopkirk throttle pedal and authentic interior in Tartan Red and Gold Brocade
- A fabulous example of the iconic 1071S and we welcome and encourage your inspection of this classic Mini Cooper
